    Fuse Aggregate with HashLeftOuterJoin to accelerate evaluation

    This PR fuses `Aggregate` with `HashJoin` (left outer) into the 
`CrossReferenceCoalesceAggregate` node to enable fast-path evaluation for a 
class of queries.
    
    Here we briefly describe the semantics of 
`CrossReferenceCoalesceAggregate`: Let `L` be a table with PRIMARY KEY `u`. Let 
`R` be a table with FOREIGN KEY `x` referring to `L(u)`. Then 
`CrossReferenceCoalesceAggregate` represents a common class of analytical 
queries that
    > For each u in L, COUNT/SUM the records in R that correspond to u (i.e. 
those records satisfying R.x = L.u). In the case that there is no record for u 
in R, use 0 as the result value.
    
    That is, `CrossReferenceCoalesceAggregate` represents queries in the 
following forms:
    ```
    -- Form 1 --
    SELECT u, COALESCE(count, 0), COALESCE(sum, 0)
    FROM L LEFT OUTER JOIN (
      SELECT x, COUNT(*) AS count, SUM(y) AS sum
      FROM R
      GROUP BY x) Rt ON L.u = Rt.x;
    ```
    or (COUNT only) 
    ```
    -- Form 2 --
    SELECT u, COUNT(x) AS count
    FROM L LEFT OUTER JOIN R ON L.u = R.x
    GROUP BY u;
    ```
    where `L`, `R`, `u`, `v` and `SUM(...)/COUNT(...)` are arguments to 
`CrossReferenceCoalesceAggregate`.
    
    The fast-path evaluation is that, we first use `L.u` to build the 
`existence_map` for a `CollisionFreeVectorTable` which is then used to perform 
aggregation on `R` grouped by `R.x`. At the time of aggregation finalization, 
any `existence_map` entry that is set by `L.u` but not updated with `R`'s 
records will have aggregation result as `0` by default -- this implicitly 
achieves the left outer join + coalesce 0 semantics.
    
    This optimization improves TPC-H Q13's performance from ~15.5s to ~3s on a 
cloudlab machine with scale factor 100.
