Reduce the number of group-by attributes by pulling tables up aggregation.
This PR implements an optimization (physical plan transformation) that
pulls a table up an aggregation if many of that table's attributes serve as
group-by attributes in the aggregation. We do the optimization because it is
relatively slow to aggregate with a large set of group-by attributes, as well
as to avoid copying the table's many attributes all the way up a chain of
operators.
For example, let `R` be a relation with `PRIMARY KEY x` and attributes `y`,
`z`. Let `S` be a relation with `FOREIGN KEY u` refering to `R.x` and attribute
`v`. Then the optimization rule will transform the physical plan:
```
Aggregate(
[input relation]: HashJoin(
[probe relation]: S
[build relation]: R
[join expression]: S.u = R.x
[project attributes]: v, x, y, z
)
[aggregate expression]: SUM(v) AS sum_v
[group-by attributes]: x, y, z
)
```
into:
```
HashJoin(
[probe relation]: Aggregate(
[input relation]: S
[aggregate expression]: SUM(v) AS sum_v
[group-by attribute]: u
) AS T
[build relation]: R
[join expression]: T.u = R.x
[project attributes]: sum_v, x, y, z
)
```
This optimization improves the performance of TPC-H Q10 from ~13s to ~5.7s,
with scale factor 100 on a cloudlab machine.
