David Rowley ae69c4fcf1 Fix use of incorrect TupleTableSlot in DISTINCT aggregates
1349d2790 added code to allow DISTINCT and ORDER BY aggregates to work
more efficiently by using presorted input.  That commit added some code
that made use of the AggState's tmpcontext and adjusted the
ecxt_outertuple and ecxt_innertuple slots before checking if the current
row is distinct from the previously seen row.  That code forgot to set the
TupleTableSlots back to what they were originally, which could result in
errors such as:

ERROR:  attribute 1 of type record has wrong type

This only affects aggregate functions which have multiple arguments when
DISTINCT is used.  For example: string_agg(DISTINCT col, ', ')

Thanks to Tom Lane for identifying the breaking commit.
