Fixes coalesce and case operators in multithreaded environments with …

…different number of arguments (backport to 3.0)

The bug is described in the issue #2136.

TestArgumentListFunctionExpressionConcurrency.java - adds tests that reproduce the bug.
ExpressionOperator.java - fixes getArgumentIndices by disabling the caching of the dynamically created argument indexes.
