In an assert-enabled build I get an assert failure from this.  I think
this is the same problem Masahiko Sawada noted in

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAD21AoDrWqycq-w_+Bx1cjc+YUhZ11XTj9rfxNiNDojjBx8Fjw@mail.gmail.com

and as in that thread, I think what we really should be doing here is
giving a parse error.  What would you expect GROUPS mode to do without
an ORDER BY to define the grouping?
