Descrizione
### What happens?
`rel.query(virtual_table_name, sql)` returns a lazy relation that re-resolves `virtual_table_name` through the connection's catalog on **every** execution. Registering the same name again from a different relation therefore changes what an already-constructed relation returns, with no error, even after that relation has been executed once.
### Why it matters
Wrong data rather than an error. For a library this rules out any fixed name, so we generate a unique random name per call, which then accumulates.
### What I would expect
One of:
1. the derived relation binds the virtual table once, at construction, so it is unaffected by later registrations; or
2. re-registering a name that a live relation depends on raises; or
3. if this is intended, a note on the [relational API docs](https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/clients/python/relational_api) saying that the name is resolved late and must not be reused.
### To Reproduce
import duckdb
con = duckdb.connect()
a = con.sql("select 1 as a")
b = con.sql("select 999 as a")
first = a.query("v", "select a from v")
print(first.fetchall()) # [(1,)]
second = b.query("v", "select a from v") # same name, unrelated relation
print(second.fetchall()) # [(999,)]
print(first.fetchall()) # [(999,)] <- silently changed

Inizia dal punto di ingresso DuckDBPyRelation.query() ed esegui la riproduzione Python fornita sulle versioni del pacchetto elencate. Traccia quando viene risolto il nome della tabella virtuale, quindi aggiungi un test di regressione per il comportamento scelto: una relazione esistente non deve cambiare silenziosamente dopo che il nome viene riutilizzato, oppure il contratto di risoluzione tardiva deve essere documentato nella documentazione dell’API relazionale.
