Review Comment:
   You are right that datafusion/physical-expr should not depend on 
datafusion/functions, so a helper cannot simply live in the UDF crate and be 
reused from the operator.
   
   There are still a way to "keep binary-to-UTF8 normalization semantics 
aligned between the UDF and || operator." without introducing an illegal 
dependency:
   
   - Move shared normalization logic into a lower-level crate both can depend 
on. The important part is that the shared code lives below both 
datafusion/functions and datafusion/physical-expr, not in either one.
