I found a bug in v10 patchset: when we generate the GROUP BY clauses
for the partial aggregation that is pushed down to a non-aggregated
relation, we may produce a clause with a tleSortGroupRef that
duplicates one already present in the query's groupClause, which would
cause problems.

Attached is the updated version of the patchset that fixes this bug
and includes further code refactoring.

Thanks
