Fix jsonb_object_agg() and related aggs used as window functions.
When being used as a window function, these aggregates must run the
finalization step repeatedly on their accumulated state. During that,
discarding null-valued pairs isn't okay if we want to reject duplicate
keys, since per SQL spec a null-valued pair still participates in
duplicate key checking. Hence, when both those options are selected
(jsonb_object_agg_unique_strict) run uniqueifyJsonbObject on a copy of
the pairs array, keeping the original data structure unmodified.
We don't want to do that when unique_keys isn't specified, because
repeat de-duplication can be very expensive when there are many
duplicates, but fortunately we don't have to.
uniqueifyJsonbObject did not renumber the pairs it kept, so a pair
added later could lose to an older one with the same key. Renumber
them to ensure that we preserve last-one-wins behavior across
multiple finalizations. Also improve related comments.
While adding test cases to cover these mistakes, I chose to sync up
all the json[b]_object_agg tests in json.sql and jsonb.sql. This
exposed that json_object_agg() fails to de-duplicate keys in its
output, which seems like a pre-existing bug; but for this commit
let's just memorialize its behavior.
