Looked at this quickly and I do not think adding it would be what I 
consider a small patch since we would essentially need to copy the 
validation logic from DefineAggregate and AggregateCreate and modify it 
to fit the alter case. I am leaning towards either either leaving the 
aggregate functions alone or updating the catalog manually.
