Pushing down statements to FederatedX engine is implemented by
printing either SELECT_LEX or SELECT_LEX_UNIT into a string and
sending that string to the engine. In the case of pushing down a
single SELECT having a CTE (WITH clause) there was a problem, because
normally single SELECTs were printed using SELECT_LEX::print().
But CTEs are stored in the upper unit of the SELECT_LEX -
SELECT_LEX_UNIT, so they were not unfolded in the string produced.
The solution is to invoke SELECT_LEX_UNIT::print() when pushing down
single SELECT statements (but not those which are parts of units),
so the possible CTEs are unfolded and printed.

Allow queries of multiple SELECTs combined together with
UNIONs/EXCEPTs/INTERSECTs to be pushed down to foreign engines.
If the foreign engine provides an interface method "create_unit"
and the UNIT is a top-level unit of the SQL query then the server
tries to push the whole SELECT_LEX_UNIT down to the engine for execution.
The engine should perform necessary checks and if they succeed,
execute the query. If the engine is unable to execute the whole unit,
then another attempt is made to push down SELECTs composing the unit
separately using the "create_select" interface method. In this case
the results of separate SELECTs are combined at the server side
thus composing the final result
