Change subject: IMPALA-5211: Simplifying ifnull conditional.
......................................................................


Patch Set 5:

* Correct! The BE code and all the associated function plumbing for IFNULL 
should be removed.
* We should do the transformation even before analysis, like we do for  NVL2 
(see FunctionCallExpr#createExpr). I don't think we can get into a weird 
situation with NullLiterals.

I like your idea of handling "[not] distinct from" in a separate rule.

I agree that the docs are wrong, I'll let you decide whether to file a JIRA or 
fix it yourself.
