Prior to this commit, it was possible for the distinct count of a
column in an outer join to be zero when the row count was non-zero.
Since we require that the distinct count is always non-zero when the
row count is non-zero, this caused an error. This commit fixes the
issue by ensuring that there is always at least one distinct value
for each column in an outer join when the row count is non-zero.
Fixes #38091
Release note: None
