Jan Ciolek da3c07955a cql3: expr: make it possible to prepare binary_operator using prepare_expression
prepare_expression didn't allow to prepare binary_operators.
so it's now implemented.

If prepare_binary_operator is unable to infer
the types it will fail with an exception instead
of returning std::nullopt, but we can live with
that for now.

Preparing binary_operators inside the WHERE
clause is currently more complicated than just
calling prepare_binary_operator. Preparation
of the WHERE clause is done inside statement_restrictions
constructor. It's done by iterating over all binary_operators,
validating them and then preparing. The validation contains
additional checks with custom error messages.
Preparation has to be done after validation,
because otherwise the error messages will change
and some tests will start failing.
Because of that we can't just call prepare_expression
on the WHERE clause yet.

It's still useful to have the ability to prepare
binary_operators using prepare_expression.
In cases where we know that the WHERE clause is valid,
we can just call prepare_expression and be done with it.

Once grammar is fully relaxed the artificial constraints
checked by the validation code will be removed and
it will be possible to prepare the whole WHERE clause
using just prepare_expression.

prepare_expression does a bit more than
prepare_binary_operator. In case where
both sides of the binary_operator are known
it will evaluate the whole binary_operator
to a constant value.

Query analysis code is NOT ready
to encounter constant boolean values inside
the WHERE clause, so for the WHERE we still use
prepare_binary_operator which doesn't
evaluate the binary_operator to a
constant value.
