/// Optimizer rule to prune unnecessary columns from intermediate schemas
/// inside the [`LogicalPlan`]. This rule:
/// - Removes unnecessary columns that do not appear at the output and/or are
///   not used during any computation step.
/// - Adds projections to decrease table column size before operators that
///   benefit from a smaller memory footprint at its input.
/// - Removes unnecessary [`LogicalPlan::Projection`]s from the [`LogicalPlan`].
///
/// `OptimizeProjections` is an optimizer rule that identifies and eliminates
/// columns from a logical plan that are not used by downstream operations.
/// This can improve query performance and reduce unnecessary data processing.
///
/// The rule analyzes the input logical plan, determines the necessary column
/// indices, and then removes any unnecessary columns. It also removes any
