refactor: improve join condition evaluation and filter management

- Refactored `classify_join_input` to `strip_plan_wrappers` for clearer handling of logical plan wrappers.
- Introduced helper functions `is_scalar_aggregate_subquery` and `is_derived_relation` to check for specific logical plan structures.
- Enhanced `is_scalar_subquery_cross_join` to streamline the evaluation logic of joins with scalar subqueries.
- Added `should_keep_filter_above_scalar_subquery_cross_join` to manage filter preservation based on join conditions.
- Adjusted the predicate handling in `push_down_all_join` to utilize the new helper functions, improving filter application logic.
- Updated tests for window operations over scalar subquery cross joins to maintain correct behavior and refactored test setup for clarity.
