Which issue does this PR close?

Closes #10523

Rationale for this change

IMO, OuterReferenceColumn is a column can be resolved to an outside field of the current plan. Typically, it's produced from identifier or compound_identifier.

Ok((qualifier, field)) => {
// found an exact match on a qualified name in the outer plan schema, so this is an outer reference column
Ok(Expr::OuterReferenceColumn(
field.data_type().clone(),
Column::from((qualifier, field)),
))

I think we can just convert it to a column sql node. Just like other identifier. Because the concept of outer reference is a logical plan concept, we can ignore the type of a OuterReferenceColumn which produced by a field resolving.

What changes are included in this PR?
