Allow negative aggtransspace to indicate unbounded state size
This patch reuses the existing aggtransspace in pg_aggregate to
signal that an aggregate's transition state can grow unboundedly. If
aggtransspace is set to a negative value, it now indicates that the
transition state may consume unpredictable or large amounts of memory,
such as in aggregates like array_agg or string_agg that accumulate
input rows.
This information can be used by the planner to avoid applying
memory-sensitive optimizations (e.g., eager aggregation) when there is
a risk of excessive memory usage during partial aggregation.
Bump catalog version.
Per idea from Robert Haas, though applied differently than originally
suggested.
