SQL/JSON: Fix JSON_TABLE() column deparsing

The deparsing code in get_json_expr_options() unnecessarily emitted
the default column-specific ON ERROR / EMPTY behavior when the
top-level ON ERROR behavior in JSON_TABLE was set to ERROR. Fix that
by not overriding the column-specific default, determined based on
the column's JsonExprOp in get_json_table_columns(), with
JSON_BEHAVIOR_ERROR when that is the top-level ON ERROR behavior.

Note that this only removes redundancy; the current deparsing output
is not incorrect, just redundant.
