This ticket aims at fixing the bug that throws a unsupported exception when running the TPCDS q5 with AQE enabled (this option is enabled by default now):
{code}
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: BroadcastExchange does not support the execute() code path.

I've checked the AQE code and I found `EnsureRequirements` wrongly puts `BroadcastExchange` on a top of `BroadcastQueryStage` in the `reOptimize` phase as follows:
{code}
+- BroadcastExchange HashedRelationBroadcastMode(List(cast(input[0, int, true] as bigint)),false), [id=#2183]
  +- BroadcastQueryStage 2
    +- ReusedExchange [d_date_sk#1086], BroadcastExchange HashedRelationBroadcastMode(List(cast(input[0, int, true] as bigint)),false), [id=#1963]
{code}
A root cause is that a `Cast` class in a required child's distribution does not have a `timeZoneId` field (`timeZoneId=None`), and a `Cast` class in `child.outputPartitioning` has it. So, this difference can make the distribution requirement check fail in `EnsureRequirements`:
