SQL: Fix bug with optimization of null related conditionals (#41355)
The SimplifyConditional rule is removing NULL literals from those
functions to simplify their evaluation. This happens in the Optimizer
and a new instance of the conditional function is generated. Previously,
the dataType was not set properly (defaulted to DataType.NULL) for
those new instances and since the resolveType() wasn't called again
it resulted in returning always null.

E.g.:

SELECT COALESCE(null, 'foo', null, 'bar')

COALESCE(null, 'foo', null, 'bar')
-----------------
null

This issue was not visible before because the tests always used an alias
for the conditional function which caused the resolveType() to be
called which sets the dataType properly.

E.g.:

SELECT COALESCE(null, 'foo', null, 'bar') as c

c
-----------------
foo
