The visitor has bunch of issues while trying to find correct parent group by query

  • If parent was pushed down for whatever reason.
  • If the grouping subquery changed table alias due to uniquification

An ideal but bit costly solution would be avoid doing the lift in first place. If the queryable translation did 2-way running translation for aggregate/non-aggregate scenario both then we don't need to do lifting as correct SQL would be automatically generated. This could also help in custom aggregate operation translation support.

Dual pass is not too expensive and beneficial for #22957
Though we may not always be able to escape lifting. The translation into aggregate directly doesn't deal with joins which may need to be applied to base query. The subquery lifting code did that for us and that part was the most faulty one so lifting joins is not the right way to do. Currently we will leave subquery form if there are joins. We can look into future, how to translate it into aggregate form by translating join on the main. (Also, if we translate join on main query and then not generate aggregate form, we need to remove that join. Further, need to duplicate joins there)

Design:
- Introduce `SqlEnumerableExpression` - a holder class which indicates the `SqlExpression` is in form of a enumerable (or group) coming as a result of whole table selection or a grouping element. It also stores details about if `Distinct` is applied over grouping or if there are any orderings.
- Due to above `DistinctExpression` has been removed. The token while used to denote `Distinct` over grouping element were not valid in other parts of SQL tree hence it makes more sense to combine it with `SqlEnumerableExpression`.
- To support dual pass, `GroupByShaperExpression` contains 2 forms of grouping element. One element selector form which correlates directly with the parent grouped query, second subquery form which correlates to parent grouped query through a correlation predicate. Element selector is first used to translate aggregation. If that fails we use subquery form to translate as a subquery. Due to 2 forms of same component, GroupByShaperExpression disallows calling into VisitChildren method, any visitor which is visiting a tree containing GroupByShaperExpression (which appears only in `QueryExpression.ShaperExpression` or LINQ expression after remapping but before translation) must intercept the tree and either ignore or process it appropriately.
- An internal visitor (`GroupByAggregateChainProcessor`) inside SqlTranslator visits and process chain of queryable operations on a grouping element before aggregate is called and condense it into `SqlEnumerableExpression` which is then passed to method which translates aggregate. This visitor only processes Where/Distinct/Select for now. Future PR will add processing for OrderBy/ThenBy(Descending) operations to generate orderings.
- Side-effect above is that joins expanded over the grouping element (due to navigations used on aggregate chain), doesn't translate to aggregate anymore since we need to translate the join on parent query, remove the translated join if the chain didn't end in aggregate and also de-dupe same joins. Filing issue to improve this in future. Due to fragile nature of matching to lift the join, we shouldn't try to lift joins.
- To support custom aggregate operations, we will either reused `IMethodCallTranslator` or create a parallel structure for aggregate methods and call into it from SqlTranslator by passing translated SqlEnumerableExpression as appropriate.
- For complex grouping key, we cause a pushdown so that we can reference the grouping key through columns only. This allows us to reference the grouping key in correlation predicate for subquery without generating invalid SQL in many cases.
- With complex grouping key converting to columns, now we are able to correctly generate identifiers for grouping queries which makes more queries with correlated collections (where either parent or inner both queries can be groupby query) translatable.

Resolves #27132
Introduce a pass to translate grouping element chain ending in aggregate before translating it as a subquery.

Resolves #27226
Resolves #27433
Cause a pushdown when grouping key is complex so that SQL parser doesn't throw error that ungrouped columns are being referenced.
