Review Comment:
   > IIUC map_children defines how LogicalPlan's construct a tree topology, 
while map_elements is resolving the link between nodes.
   
   Yes, the container trait supposes that the elements in it are sibling nodes. 
Basically this is why we can use it when we implement `apply_children()` / 
`map_children()`. The blanket implementations for the trait makes it very 
simple to use with `Expr` and `LogicalPlan` as those logical plan treenodes 
define their children as a composition of `Vec`s, `Option`s, tuples, `Box`es 
and `Arc`s.
   
   Here in `LogicalPlan` a treenode has mostly only 1 child (except for `Join` 
and `Union` maybe) so input (`Arc<LogicalPlan>`) is just a single element 
container so this PR doesn't have much benefit, but I think it is worth to 
allign `Expr` and `LogicalPlan` code.
   
   `TreeNode::map_children` and `TreeNodeContainer:: map_elements` are similar 
in a way that both apply `f` to their children / elements of a `TreeNode` / 
`TreeNodeContainer`. But we use `TreeNode` to define different kids of logical 
    and physical plan trees, while `TreeNodeContainer` can be used to simplify 
implementation of `apply_children` / `map_children()` as children are siblings.
