### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR is to fix an incorrect outer join elimination when filter's `isNotNull` constraints is unable to filter out all null-supplying rows. For example, `isnotnull(coalesce(b#227, c#238))`.

Users can hit this error when they try to use `using/natural outer join`, which is converted to a normal outer join with a `coalesce` expression on the `using columns`. For example,
```Scala
    val a = Seq((1, 2), (2, 3)).toDF("a", "b")
    val b = Seq((2, 5), (3, 4)).toDF("a", "c")
    val c = Seq((3, 1)).toDF("a", "d")
    val ab = a.join(b, Seq("a"), "fullouter")
    ab.join(c, "a").explain(true)
```
The dataframe `ab` is doing `using full-outer join`, which is converted to a normal outer join with a `coalesce` expression. Constraints inference generates a `Filter` with constraints `isnotnull(coalesce(b#227, c#238))`. Then, it triggers a wrong outer join elimination and generates a wrong result.
