    Fixes SNOW-NNNNNNN

  2. Fill out the following pre-review checklist:

    • I am adding a new automated test(s) to verify correctness of my new code
      • If this test skips Local Testing mode, I'm requesting review from @snowflakedb/local-testing
    • I am adding new logging messages
    • I am adding a new telemetry message
    • I am adding new credentials
    • I am adding a new dependency
    • If this is a new feature/behavior, I'm adding the Local Testing parity changes.
    • I acknowledge that I have ensured my changes to be thread-safe. Follow the link for more information: Thread-safe Developer Guidelines
    • If adding any arguments to public Snowpark APIs or creating new public Snowpark APIs, I acknowledge that I have ensured my changes include AST support. Follow the link for more information: AST Support Guidelines
  3. Please describe how your code solves the related issue.

when performing dataframe join, snowpark generates redundant alias when there is no conflicting column
example:

session.create_dataframe([(1,2,3,4)], schema=["a", "b", "c", "d"]).write.save_as_table(table_name="temptable1", table_type="temporary")
session.create_dataframe([(5,6,7,8)], schema=["e", "f", "g", "h"]).write.save_as_table(table_name="temptable2", table_type="temporary")

df1 = session.table("temptable1")
df2 = session.table("temptable2")
dfm = df1.join(df2)
dfm.explain()
"""

before

SELECT  * 
 FROM (
(
 SELECT 
    "A" AS "A", 
    "B" AS "B", 
    "C" AS "C", 
    "D" AS "D"
 FROM temptable1
) AS SNOWPARK_LEFT 
INNER JOIN 
(
 SELECT 
    "E" AS "E", 
    "F" AS "F", 
    "G" AS "G", 
    "H" AS "H"
 FROM temptable2
) AS SNOWPARK_RIGHT

)

after

SELECT  * 
 FROM (
(
 SELECT  *  FROM temptable1
) AS SNOWPARK_LEFT 
INNER JOIN 
(
 SELECT  *  FROM temptable2
) AS SNOWPARK_RIGHT

)
