ZheHu updated CALCITE-5771:
---------------------------
    Description: 
We now have one CONCAT_FUNCTION which is enabled in MySQL、Postgresql、BigQuery, 
it always returns NULL when any of the arguments is NULL, and it accepts at 
least 2 arguments.

The following table describes how different database products define CONCAT 
function:

|| DB Product || Argument type in CONCAT || Argument num in CONCAT || Result ||
|MySQL|string|at least 1|returns null if any argument is null, otherwise return 
string|
|BigQuery|string|at least 1|returns null if any argument is null, otherwise 
return string|
|Postgresql|any(cast to string)|at least 1|always return string, null is 
treated as empty string|
|MSSQL|string|2 ~ 254|always return string, null is treated as empty string|


For MySQL and BigQuery, we can reuse the current CONCAT_FUNCTION(but need to 
change the accepted argument number). We also need another CONCAT function for 
Postgresql and MSSQL that treats NULL as empty String. And they both accept at 
least 1 argument.
