MssqlExistsValue class

EXISTS (SELECT ...) as a value, for a projection rather than a WHERE.

SQL Server has no boolean expression: EXISTS is a predicate and a predicate cannot be selected, so SELECT EXISTS (…) is a syntax error. A CASE around it is the only way to project the answer, and the CAST to bit is what makes the result decode as a Dart bool rather than as the 1 or 0 the CASE produces.

Still EXISTS inside, not COUNT(*) > 0: the server stops at the first matching row rather than counting all of them.
