What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #36903

Problem Summary:

What is changed and how it works?

In the old UnionScan executor code, if an empty chk is passed to UnionScan.Next(chk) , the UnionScan executor will not read any data.

This bug could be trigger in select pkey from t_vwvgdc where 0 <> 0 union select pkey from t_vwvgdc;
The union first children return empty chunk, and the chunk is reused for the second children (union scan) to read data.

Now I change req.GrowAndReset(us.maxChunkSize) to ensure capacity > 0 for the req.
