Commit Message:

Line 12: 2. precision will be augmented if the scale is adjusted.
In addition to my other comment, I think we should mention some of the 
limitations here, for example, that it won't be possible to compute the AVG() 
of some decimal types at all.

Suggest these minor fixes and reordering:

AVG() gets at least MIN_ADJUSTED_SCALE decimal places since it performs an 
implicit divide. However, the output type is not always the same as 
SUM()/COUNT(). Our behavior is similar to MS SQL Server's which takes the max 
of the input's scale and MIN_ADJUSTED_SCALE.

The observations are ok, but at a high level:
* the type is not the same as SUM()/COUNT()
* the behavior is not the same as MS SQL Server's

It would be good to provide a justification/intuition for why we chose yet 
another behavior (also in the commit msg).

Line 208: ====
We should also add tests for those decimal types where AVG() cannot be computed 
(because we always overflow).
