Fix to not allow null treatment to non window functions.
Tatsuo Ishii <ishii@postgresql.org>
Fix to not allow null treatment to non window functions. The null treatment clause (RESPECT NULLS/IGNORE NULLS) are only allowed to window functions per spec. Previously the check was only applied to aggregates in window clause. Other types of functions were allowed to use the clause, which was plain wrong. To fix this, ParseFuncOrColumn() now checks whether other than window functions are used with the null treatment clause. If so, error out. Also remove the unnecessary test for "aggregate functions do not accept RESPECT/IGNORE NULLS" because it is now checked in the early-stage new check. The window regression test expected file is changed accordingly.
