## 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`.
