I have replaced aggregate function

json[b]_objectagg(key any, val any, absent_on_null boolean, unique_keys boolean)

with three separate functions:

json[b]_object_agg_strict(any, any)
json[b]_object_agg_unique(any, any)
json[b]_object_agg_unique_strict(any, any)


This should be more correct than single aggregate with additional parameters.
