I have decided the whole qry_aggs is bad.  It is bad becuase it makes
multiple copies of Aggreg, and both copies must be processed by any
changes by rewrite and optimizer.  I am removing the field
Query->qry_aggs, and replacing it with a function that will called when
creating the Agg which spins through the Plan target list and returns a
linked list of Agg*.  Much cleaner, and I can remove much of the special
qry_aggs handling I added to get other Agg stuff to work.

Also, this relates to the SubLink change.  I am now going to recommend
not having a separate Sublink pointer list field in Query, but adding a
function that will return a list of valid Sublink entries in from
qry->qual, or maybe even qry->targetlist.
