Review Comment:
Because implementation of `Accumulator` is precision/scale independent and
it relies on post-computation type conversion to adjust its result. This keeps
accumulator logic simple and allows to reuse existing type conversion functions
defined by runtime (so type conversion work the same everywhere).
The only way to figure out a type of an aggregate function that runtime is
going to use is to call `Accumulator::returnType`, but since it returns a type
without default precision and scale, and default scale is 0, the scale can be
lost during serialisation.
