Alex Behm e89ba550c9 Support aggregate functions with different intermediate and output types. ...

As a proof-of-concept, this patch implements avg() with a STRING intermediate
type, and changes variance() to output a DOUBLE.

I tested this change on single-node and distributed plans, with the
partitioned as well as the old aggregation node.

This patch leaves several things for follow-on changes:
- plumb through CHAR as an intermediate type
- modify other builtin aggregtes to use appropriate output/intermediate types
- allow analytic functions to have different output/intermediate types
