I've split this patch into two parts.
0001 Adds planner support for ORDER BY aggregates.
0002 is a WIP patch for DISTINCT support. This still lacks JIT
support and I'm still not certain of the best where to store the
previous value or tuple to determine if the current one is distinct
from it.
The 0001 patch is fairly simple and does not require much in the way
of changes in the planner aside from standard_qp_callback().
Surprisingly the executor does not need a great deal of work here
either. It's just mostly about skipping the normal agg(.. ORDER BY)
code when the Aggref is presorted.
