   I have confirmed this change is safe for min/max aggregators, which have 
special logic when using the `expression` field that only impacts STRING and 
ARRAY typed expressions when `druid.generic.useDefaultValueForNull=false`, but 
the SQL planner would have never planned such a thing, as it would have 
inferred the min/max aggregator to be string typed - which doesn't exist, and 
so would instead fail with `Possible error: Max aggregation is not supported 
for 'STRING' type`.
   
   added a couple of additional tests from this investigation, just to document 
inconsistencies in behavior. It also appears that the "string wrappers" that 
the numeric aggregators use, `StringColumnDoubleAggregatorWrapper`, etc, do not 
behave correctly in SQL compatible null handling mode 
(`druid.generic.useDefaultValueForNull=false`), but i didn't modify them in 
this PR.
