What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #35295

Problem Summary:

When table t is empty, this get empty result:

select avg(id) from t group by id;

While this get NULL:

select avg(id) from t;

We add NULL (default value) to the empty result here:

tidb/executor/aggregate.go

Lines 1368 to 1379 in 2de01b4

	if e.childResult.NumRows() == 0 {
	if !e.isChildReturnEmpty {
	err = e.appendResult2Chunk(chk)
	} else if e.defaultVal != nil {
	chk.Append(e.defaultVal, 0, 1)
	}
	e.executed = true
	return err
	}
	// Reach here, "e.childrenResults[0].NumRows() > 0" is guaranteed.
	e.isChildReturnEmpty = false
	e.inputRow = e.inputIter.Begin()

Whether or not add the NULL row depends on some conditions.

Note, for this case, the added NULL row make the final result wrong:

What is changed and how it works?

Only add NULL for final aggregation.
Otherwise the add NULL row operation would be done several times and send a wrong NULL row to the final aggregation.

• In aggregation push down optimze rule, I'll set the pushed down aggregation to non-final
• In physical plan, aggregation push down to cop phase, I'll not blindly change the upper aggregation to final/complete... because it's parent might be final and it's a partial itself
• In the executor builder phase, only set the default value for final aggregation
