bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
