[SPARK-56840][SQL][FOLLOW-UP] Add a real NullIf repro test

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Add a focused Catalyst regression test that constructs builtin `nullif` with an unresolved nested field reference while `ALWAYS_INLINE_COMMON_EXPR=true`. This reproduces the eager `left.dataType` access that motivated SPARK-56840 and guards the fixed construction path directly.

### Why are the changes needed?

The original SPARK-56840 fix was merged with an end-to-end repro that also passes without the fix, so it does not prove the bug boundary. This follow-up adds a real negative/positive regression test that fails before commit `5949ab30b41` with `Invalid call to dataType on unresolved object` and passes with the fix.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

No.

### How was this patch tested?

- `build/sbt 'catalyst/testOnly org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.NullExpressionsSuite -- -z "NullIf accepts unresolved nested fields during inlined function construction"'`
- Verified the same focused test fails on pre-fix parent `9ab8e43a940` with `UnresolvedException: Invalid call to dataType on unresolved object` and passes on current `apache/master`.

### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?

Apache Spark

Spark is a unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R (Deprecated), and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, pandas API on Spark for pandas workloads, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Structured Streaming for stream processing.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

./build/mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.)

More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at “Building Spark”.

For general development tips, including info on developing Spark using an IDE, see “Useful Developer Tools”.

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1,000,000,000:

scala> spark.range(1000 * 1000 * 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1,000,000,000:

>>> spark.range(1000 * 1000 * 1000).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be spark:// URL, “yarn” to run on YARN, and “local” to run locally with one thread, or “local[N]” to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run tests for a module, or individual tests.

There is also a Kubernetes integration test, see resource-managers/kubernetes/integration-tests/README.md

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at “Specifying the Hadoop Version and Enabling YARN” for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration Guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
