colexec: don't infinite loop cross-join with zero-column left input

Previously, the cross-joiner wouldn't advance its internal state when
its left input projected no columns. This would result in an infinite
loop as the right rows were repeatedly emitted. This patch advances
the state when there are no left columns as if values from the left
side were emitted.

Fixes cockroachdb#105882

Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug introduced in v22.1 that could cause
a join to infinite-loop in rare cases when (1) the join filter is not an
equality and (2) no columns from the left input are returned.
