What changes are included in this PR?
This PR adds an optimization rule to remove unnecessary projection plans.
We'll consider a projection as "unnecessary" if it only reorders columns (requires the same columns against its sub-plan) and is not the first projection.
For the case where the sub-plan of a projection is a table scan, projection will be pushed down into the table scan plan as a
Vec<usize>array. From the documentation, this array should be ordered. So I keep the projection in this situation (test casereorder_projection()).
