What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The implementation of TimeSub for the operation of timestamp subtracting interval is almost repetitive with TimeAdd. We can replace it with TimeAdd(l, -r) since there are equivalent.
Suggestion from #28310 (comment)
Besides, the Coercion rules for TimeAdd/TimeSub(date, interval) are useless anymore, so remove them in this PR since they are touched in this PR.
Why are the changes needed?
remove redundant and useless code for easy maintenance
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes, the SQL string of
datetime - intervalbecomedatetime + (- interval)How was this patch tested?
modified existing unit tests.
