planner: avoid exceeding the configured concurrency limit (#61786)

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #61785

Problem Summary:

The issue is that customers have observed higher I/O consumption when the analyze operation reaches the index, compared to when it analyzes regular tables. (The analyze status contains sensitive information, so it will not be included here.)

The root cause of the issue lies in improper coding practices. When we perform the analyze operation, we create multiple concurrent tasks to execute it. However, within these concurrently spawned goroutines, we further create additional concurrency. This nested concurrency results in an actual level of parallelism that is significantly higher than we anticipated.

CREATE TABLE `test` (
  `c1` binary(16) NOT NULL,
  `c2` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `c3` int NOT NULL,
  `c4` varchar(48) COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `c5` varchar(512) COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `c6` enum('A','B','C') COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `c7` int unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `c8` int unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `c9` tinyint(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (`c7` > 0) VIRTUAL NOT NULL,
  `c10` int DEFAULT NULL,
  `c11` datetime(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3),
  `c12` datetime(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3),
  PRIMARY KEY (`c1`) /*T![clustered_index] CLUSTERED */,
  KEY `idx_c4_c2_c9_c3_c12_c5_c6` (`c4`,`c2`,`c9`,`c3`,`c12`,`c5`,`c6`),
  KEY `idx_c4_c2_c9_c12_c5_c6` (`c4`,`c2`,`c9`,`c12`,`c5`,`c6`)

You will see that it will create two task about analyze ndv for index.

the problem is here.

The first creation of concurrency

https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/8fc1430b8340589d2967697a457c730caef1f9ba/pkg/executor/analyze.go#L121-L126

The second creation of concurrency

AnalyzeExec.analyzeWorker -> analyzeColumnsPushDownEntry -> analyzeColumnsPushDownV2

https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/master/pkg/executor/analyze_col_v2.go#L105-L107

The third creation of concurrency

https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/8fc1430b8340589d2967697a457c730caef1f9ba/pkg/executor/analyze_col_v2.go#L461-L466

This part is actually the most dangerous. It allows the concurrency of handleNDVForSpecialIndexes and the concurrency of column collection to coexist, which increases the business risk.

What changed and how does it work?

1、Wait untilhandleNDVForSpecialIndexesis completed before proceeding with the statistics collection for columns.

2、To prevent modifying the build stats concurrency, which could result in an exponential relationship in the actual number of concurrent tasks, we set the concurrency here to be the same as the build sampling concurrency.
