This is an automated cherry-pick of #8722

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #8419

Problem Summary: As the issue described. #8419 (comment)

When the column is defined with default value, the column id exists in non-nullable-column-ids:
https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/90fc8148a29ee77708628b6c6984d51b7e9f8cc3/pkg/table/tables/tables.go#L525-L528

There is a function for fixing similar cases, but it only handle the case for "missing column". And those column defined with default value is not consider as "missing column"

inline bool addDefaultValueToColumnIfPossible(
const ColumnInfo & column_info,
Block & block,
size_t block_column_pos,
bool ignore_pk_if_absent,
bool force_decode)
{
// We consider a missing column could be safely filled with NULL, unless it has not default value and is NOT NULL.
// This could saves lots of unnecessary schema syncs for old data with a newer schema that has newly added columns.
if (column_info.hasPriKeyFlag())
{
// For clustered index or pk_is_handle, if the pk column does not exists, it can still be decoded from the key
if (ignore_pk_if_absent)
return true;
assert(!ignore_pk_if_absent);
if (!force_decode)
return false;
// Else non-clustered index, and not pk_is_handle, it could be a row encoded by older schema,
// we need to fill the column wich has primary key flag with default value.
// fallthrough to fill default value when force_decode
}
if (column_info.hasNoDefaultValueFlag() && column_info.hasNotNullFlag())
{
if (!force_decode)
return false;
// Else the row does not contain this "not null" / "no default value" column,
// it could be a row encoded by older schema.
// fallthrough to fill default value when force_decode
}
// not null or has no default value, tidb will fill with specific value.
auto * raw_column = const_cast<IColumn *>((block.getByPosition(block_column_pos)).column.get());
raw_column->insert(column_info.defaultValueToField());
return true;
}

What is changed and how it works?

When tiflash meets such NULL datum value in non-nullable column when force_decode==true, just fill with the default value.
