Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Simplify UNION ALL with identical expressions but
 different aliases

ClickHouse's EXPLAIN AST output optimizes UNION ALL queries when all
SELECTs have identical expressions but different column aliases. Since
column names come from the first SELECT, subsequent SELECTs are elided
in the AST output.

This adds simplifyUnionSelects() to match this behavior, fixing test
00592_union_all_different_aliases.
