of the Sequence.Why are the changes needed?
This is the necessary definition change for supporting resolving nested correlated subqueries.
The outerPlan currently stores the direct outer plan only so it can be defined as Option[LogicalPlan].
For supporting resolving nested correlated subqueries, it should store all the outer plans as a sequence of outerPlans, and the resolver/ColumnResolutionHelper should search the attribute from the inner most scope to the outer most scope.
