   ## Rationale for this change
   In the existing code base we have two different methods to keep track of 
equivalences in the `Arc<dyn PhysicalPlan>`.
   Which are `equivalence_properties` and `ordering_equivalence_properties`. 
   
   As a background `EquivalenceProperties` keeps track of equivalent columns 
such as `a=b=c`, `e=f`.
   `OrderingEquivalenceProperties` alternative orderings that table satisfies. 
such `[a ASC, b ASC]`, and `[c ASC, d ASC]`.
   `OrderingEquivalenceProperties` keeps track of constant expressions also 
(e.g expression that are known to have a constant value. This can arise after 
filter, join, etc.).
   
   Inherently, this information is coupled, as an example 
   Assume that 
   - existing table satisfies following orderings `[a ASC, b ASC]` and `[c ASC, 
d ASC]`.
   - table have equivalent columns `a=e`.
   - It is known that `f` is constant.
   
   If an operator requires ordering at its input `[e ASC, f ASC, b ASC]`. 
During the analysis for whether this requirement is satisfied by existing 
ordering, we need to consider all orderings, equivalences, and constants at the 
same time.
   
   Following naive algorithm can be followed for this analysis (Please note 
that algorithm in this PR is more elaborate.)
   - Remove constant expressions from the requirement (This converts 
requirement `[e ASC, f ASC, b ASC]` to `[e ASC, b ASC]`)
   - Rewrite requirement such that it uses only representative expression for 
each distinct equivalent group (This converts requirement `[e ASC, b ASC]` to 
`[a ASC, b ASC]`). 
   - Apply same procedures above each of the orderings inside the 
`OrderingEquivalences` (This converts ordering `[a ASC, b ASC]` to `[a ASC, b 
ASC]` and `[c ASC, d ASC]` to `[c ASC, d ASC]` no change ). 
   - Check whether normalized requirement `[a ASC, b ASC]` is satisfied by any 
of normalized orderings `[a ASC, b ASC]`, `[c ASC, d ASC]`.
   
   As can be seen from the example above. Keeping track of these information 
separately, is a bit cumbersome. 
   
   Also for the user implementing new functionality is a bit hard, and existing 
APIs are a bit involved also. Such as `ordering_satisfy`, 
`requirements_compatible`, etc.
   
   I think it is better to unify these information in a single `struct` so that
   - We can expose better, and more friendly `API`s from struct.
   - Move utils, functions, to method calls
   - Keep the invariants in the state (not relying on correct arguments). 
   - All of the implementations, algorithms resides in a single place, and 
logic is not scatterred in different files.

   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   This PR unifies `EquivalenceProperties` and `OrderingEquivalenceProperties` 
to single struct called `EquivalenceProperties` (equivalence now involves, 
exact equivalence,  ordering equivalence, constants).
   And all of the implementation that depend on this information is moved to 
method calls (such as `projection`, `ordering_satisfy`, etc.)
   
   - Additional tests to show that better plans can be produced with new 
design. (As an example `ordering_satisfy` no longer  just depends on single 
ordering, which is output ordering. Bu considers all of the valid orderings for 
the table. This enables additional optimizations. See new tests under 
`window.slt` as an example)

   There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is 
sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR.
   -->
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   Yes new tests are added.
   
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?
   -->
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   `api change` `ordering_equivalence_properties` is removed from the 
`ExecutionPlan` and now `equivalence_properties` contains additional 
information.
   <!--
   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.
   -->
   
   <!--
   If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api 
change` label.
