Find scalar subqueries in the SELECT list

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.sql.antipattern.FindScalarSubqueryInSelectArtifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-sql

A subquery used as an expression in the SELECT list may execute once per result row, turning a single scan into N+1 queries. A JOIN (or LATERAL join) produces the same values in one pass. Subqueries in WHERE, FROM, or JOIN conditions are not flagged.
