session: make TxnInfo() return even if process info is empty (#57044)

[ti-chi-bot]

This is an automated cherry-pick of #57044

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #57043

Problem Summary:

tidb/pkg/session/session.go

Lines 4026 to 4030 in c240fdf

	txnInfo := tmp.TxnInfo()
	if txnInfo != nil {
	startTS = txnInfo.StartTS
	processInfoID = txnInfo.ConnectionID
	}

TxnInfo() could be nil if process info is not set(see the implementation of TxnInfo()). Such sessions are commonly used in DDL/DXF:

tidb/pkg/ddl/backfilling_operators.go

Lines 533 to 539 in c240fdf

	sessCtx, err := w.sessPool.Get()
	if err != nil {
	logutil.Logger(w.ctx).Error("tableScanWorker get session from pool failed", zap.Error(err))
	w.ctx.onError(err)
	return
	}
	w.se = session.NewSession(sessCtx)

And they only invoke session.Begin() before using:

tidb/pkg/ddl/index_cop.go

Lines 43 to 48 in c240fdf

	func wrapInBeginRollback(se *sess.Session, f func(startTS uint64) error) error {
	err := se.Begin(context.Background())
	if err != nil {
	return errors.Trace(err)
	}
	defer se.Rollback()

As a result, the startTS from internal DDL sessions will not be reported to etcd, and GC safepoint will be advanced unexpectedly.

What changed and how does it work?

Make TxnInfo() return even if process info is empty.
