Fixes #3836
I was hoping to get a review of the auto-coalescing implementation before I fixed the broken tests (if there's a better way than creating a PR with knowingly broken tests let me know (or if I should have fixed the tests first)). This feature is a slight breaking change if anyone was dependent on return nullability, and it also breaks around 30 or so existing tests due to the difference in output SQL.
Based on comments from @smitpatel on the issue we should be able to handle 3 expressions (column/const/param) in the NullSemanticsVisitor and appropriately coalesce these so we can better emulate expected C# functionality
