[FLINK-7800] [table] Enable window joins without equi-join predicates ## What is the purpose of the change This PR enables the stream window joins without equi-join predicates. ## Brief change log - Push down all the predicate checks from `FlinkLogicalRule` to DataSet/DataStream rules so that we can organise them in a flat mode. - Create a `JoinPlanUtil` tool to provide utilities (e.g., equi-predicate checker) for join plan translation. - Give priority to join plans with equi-join predicates by subtracting 1 from the IO cost. - Add related tests. - Update the documents. ## Verifying this change This change can be verified by the added tests in `JoinTest` and `JoinITCase`. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (**no**) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (**no**) - The serializers: (**no**) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (**yes**) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (**no**) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
