## Description
->
This PR allows DC agents to define custom aggregate functions for their scalar types.
### Related Issues
->
GDC-189
### Solution and Design
>
We added a new property `aggregate_functions` to the scalar types capabilities. This allows the agent author to specify a set of aggregate functions supported by each scalar type, along with the function's result type.
During GraphQL schema generation, the custom aggregate functions are available via a new method `getCustomAggregateOperators` on the `Backend` type class.
Custom functions are merged with the builtin aggregate functions when building GraphQL schemas for table aggregate fields and for `order_by` operators on array relations.
### Steps to test and verify
>
• Codec tests for aggregate function capabilities have been added to the unit tests.
• Some custom aggregate operators have been added to the reference agent and are used in a new test in `api-tests`.

This is part of a merge train towards GHC 9.2 compatibility. The main
issue is the use of the new abstract `KeyMap` in 2.0. See:

BEHAVIOR CHANGE NOTE: This change causes a different arbitrary ordering
of serialized Json, for example during metadata export. CLI users care
about this in particular, and so we need to call it out as a _behavior
change_ as we did in v2.5.0. The good news though is that after this
change ordering should be more stable (alphabetical key order).
