Previously, if ALTER INDEX IF EXISTS was used on an
unqualified index name that did not match any index, the database would
return an "index does not exist" error.
Now, the statement succeeds, but does nothing.
Also, test edge cases around ambiguous, non-existing, and/or unqualified
index names, in both alter_index and drop_index logic tests.
Fixes #42399
Release note (bug fix): ALTER INDEX IF EXISTS no longer fails
when using an unqualified index name that does not match any existing
index. Now it is a no-op.
