Fix #13546: Outer joins incorrectly removing unmatched rows (#15472)
Fixes #13546 

# Description

Previously, outer joins would remove rows without join columns, since
the "did not match" logic only executed when the row had the join
column.
To solve this, missing join columns are now treated the same as "exists
but did not match" cases. The logic now executes both when the join
column doesn't exist and when it exists but doesn't match, ensuring rows
without join columns are preserved. If the join column is not defined at
all, the previous behavior remains unchanged.

Example:
```
For the tables:
let left_side = [{a: a1 ref: 1} {a: a2 ref: 2} {a: a3}]
let right_side = [[b ref]; [b1 1] [b2 2] [b3 3]]

Running "$left_side | join -l $right_side ref" now outputs:
╭───┬────┬─────┬────╮
│ # │ a  │ ref │ b  │
├───┼────┼─────┼────┤
│ 0 │ a1 │   1 │ b1 │
│ 1 │ a2 │   2 │ b2 │
│ 2 │ a3 │     │    │
╰───┴────┴─────┴────╯
```

# User-Facing Changes

The ```join``` command will behave more similarly to SQL-style joins. In
this case, rows that lack the join column are preserved.

# Tests + Formatting

Added 2 test cases.
fmt + clippy OK.

# After Submitting

I don't believe anything is necessary.
