   Fixes #8970 (well it was already fixed somewhere along the way, but fixes 
another issue discovered in the comments)
   
   ### Description
   This PR fixes an issue when using expression virtual columns that reference 
string values on realtime query segments, where an automatic transform to 
handle possible multi-valued string inputs forces array output from the 
selector, which the aggregators are not prepared to handle. See 
https://github.com/apache/druid/issues/8970#issuecomment-829762963 for details.
   
   This PR adds a modification that fixes the side-effect of these 
transformations, to allow array typed `ExprEval` to provide scalar values if 
and only if the array has a single element. Otherwise it will retain its 
current behavior where methods like `getLong` and `getDouble` return default 
zero values. This changes makes array expression results mirror the the 
behavior of scalar expression results, where scalar expressions are currently 
allowed to present themselves as single element arrays (which exists to handle 
cases where array functions are used and the input value is a string column is 
multi-valued in one segment, but single valued in another).
