New dataops.maximum_rows_v2 test in MATE

We have introduced a new dataops.maximum_rows_v2 version of the existing dataops.maximum_rows test in the MATE orchestrator. The new test fixes the invalid behavior of dataops.maximum_rows, but both versions will temporarily be available for backward compatibility. Migrate to dataops.maximum_rows_v2 at your earliest convenience.

Feature
Enable storing statements of Procedures and Functions in external files

The SOLE Generator now supports a new input argument --inline-statement-limit (-is) that allows you to store the statements of procedures and functions in separate files. Each statement longer than the specified limit will be stored in a separate file. This feature is useful when you want to keep your SOLE files clean and readable.
