Tomas Vondra be45be9c33 Implement GROUP BY DISTINCT 
With grouping sets, it's possible that some of the grouping sets are
duplicate.  This is especially common with CUBE and ROLLUP clauses. For
example GROUP BY CUBE (a,b), CUBE (b,c) is equivalent to

  GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (
    (a, b, c),
    (a, b, c),
    (a, b, c),
    (a, b),
    (a, b),
    (a, b),
    (a),
    (a),
    (a),
    (c, a),
    (c, a),
    (c, a),
    (c),
    (b, c),
    (b),
    ()
  )

Some of the grouping sets are calculated multiple times, which is mostly
unnecessary.  This commit implements a new GROUP BY DISTINCT feature, as
defined in the SQL standard, which eliminates the duplicate sets.
