Which issue does this PR close?

POC for #8157

Rationale for this change

Based on discussion in #8157 , there are two ways to implement Expr creation for ScalarUDF:

  1. Reuse Expr::ScalarUDF
  2. Extend Expr::ScalarFunction

This draft wants to show how approach 2 will look like
pro: This way can encapsulate the execution path for BuitlinScalarFunction and ScalarUDF together (but actually is a slight cleanup instead of unification), which can make future work toward #8045 a little bit easier (when debugging core during migration)
con: Larger modifications to the core code (see comments)

I don't have a strong preference between 1 and 2 for the above reasons, is there any other concerns for approach 1? @alamb

This looks pretty neat @2010YOUY01

I don't have a strong preference between 1 and 2 for the above reasons, is there any other concerns for approach 1? @alamb

I am not sure of other concerns -- perhaps it is worth doing a quick prototype / POC, similar to this PR, of what approach 1 would look like?
