Tom Lane 5fc438fb25 Restore nodeAgg.c's ability to check for improperly-nested aggregates.
While poking around in the aggregate logic, I noticed that commit
8ed3f11bb broke the logic in nodeAgg.c that purports to detect nested
aggregates, by moving initialization of regular aggregate argument
expressions out of the code segment that checks for that.

You could argue that this check is unnecessary, but it's not much code
so I'm inclined to keep it as a backstop against parser and planner
bugs.  However, there's certainly zero value in checking only some of
the subexpressions.

We can make the check complete again, and as a bonus make it a good
deal more bulletproof against future mistakes of the same ilk, by
moving it out to the outermost level of ExecInitAgg.  This means we
need to check only once per Agg node not once per aggregate, which
also seems like a good thing --- if the check does find something
wrong, it's not urgent that we report it before the plan node
initialization finishes.

Since this requires remembering the original length of the aggs list,
I deleted a long-obsolete stanza that changed numaggs from 0 to 1.
That's so old it predates our decision that palloc(0) is a valid
operation, in (digs...) 2004, see commit 24a1e20f1.

In passing improve a few comments.

Back-patch to v10, just in case.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
