   <!--
   We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and 
enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases. You can

   - Closes [#15004](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/15004).
   
   ## Rationale for this change
   
   <!--
    Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in 
the issue then this section is not needed.
    Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your 
changes and offer better suggestions for fixes.  
   -->
   The current error messages for non-aggregate columns in GROUP BY queries are 
technically accurate but not user-friendly. They use technical terminology like 
"non-aggregate values" without clearly explaining the problem or providing 
actionable solutions. This PR improves these error messages to be more 
intuitive and helpful, especially for users who might not be familiar with SQL 
aggregation concepts.

   ### added two function in to `expand_wildcard_rule.rs`:
   1. `fn check_group_by_info(input: &LogicalPlan) -> (bool, Vec<Expr>, 
Vec<Expr>)`
   - Detects if a query contains a GROUP BY clause
   - Collects columns used in GROUP BY and in aggregate functions
   - Returns a tuple of `(has_group_by, group_by_columns, aggregate_columns)`
   2. `fn validate_columns_in_group_by_or_aggregate(has_group_by: bool, 
expanded: &Vec<Expr>, group_by_columns: &Vec<Expr>, aggregate_columns: 
&Vec<Expr>) -> Result<(), DataFusionError>`
   - Verifies all selected columns appear either in the GROUP BY clause or 
within aggregate functions
   - Returns a clear `SchemaError::GroupByColumnInvalid` error when validation 
fails
   3. added a new `SchemaError` type to shows the error message - 
`datafusion_common::SchemaError::GroupByColumnInvalid`
   
   ### In datafusion/sql/src/utils.rs:
   
   - Updated `message_prefix()` method to provide clearer error message prefixes
   - Improved help text in `check_column_satisfies_expr()` to suggest specific 
solutions
   - for easy understanding as requested in  
[#15004](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/15004)
   
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   3. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?
   -->
   - The new validation functions in `expand_wildcard_rule.rs` have been tested 
with test cases included at the bottom of the file. These tests verify both 
successful validation and proper error reporting.
   - The message improvements in `datafusion/sql/src/utils.rs` modify only the 
error text, not the functional logic, so no additional tests were added for 
these changes.
   
   Additional test cases are welcome to ensure comprehensive coverage.
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   <!--
   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.
   -->
   Yes. Users will now see more intuitive error messages when they encounter 
GROUP BY validation issues. For example, instead of seeing:
   ```
   Error during planning: Projection references non-aggregate values: 
Expression foo.b could not be resolved from available columns: foo.a
   ```
   They will see:
   ```
   Error during planning: Column in SELECT must be grouped or aggregated: 
Expression foo.b could not be resolved from available columns: foo.a
   ```
   This change makes errors more understandable and provides clearer guidance 
on how to fix the issue.
