Disable TO_UPPER(null)-tests prior to 8.17 (#119213)

TO_UPPER/TO_LOWER resolution incorrectly returned child's type (that
could also be `null`, type `NULL`), instead of KEYWORD/TEXT. So a test
like `TO_UPPER(null) == "..."` fails on type mismatch. This was fixed
collaterally by #114334 (8.17.0)

Also, correct some of the tests skipping (that had however no impact,
due to testing range).
