I ran this patch and it looks good for committer.
Just one thing, in src/backend/utils/adt/Makefile median.o to compile
the new file is missing.

And I'm now thinking about how to make median happen in window
aggregate. In fact we might fix parse_func.c to distinguish the same
name aggregate and window functions and median() can be implemented
separately from aggregate one. But it's another story than this patch.
For now we can commit the median aggregate only, without window
function support.
