Subject: [PATCH] Add native PIVOT syntax support for SQL Server/Oracle
 compatibility

Implement PIVOT clause transformation in the PostgreSQL parser, allowing
queries like:

  SELECT region
  FROM sales
  PIVOT (SUM(revenue) FOR quarter IN ('Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4'))
  ORDER BY region;

The pivot columns (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) are automatically generated from the
IN list. The implementation transforms PIVOT into standard SQL using
aggregate functions with FILTER clauses and implicit GROUP BY.

Aggregate validation uses catalog lookup to support any valid aggregate
function, including user-defined aggregates.

Key behaviors:
- SELECT * is disallowed (explicit column list required)
- GROUP BY is disallowed (implicit from non-pivot columns)
- Duplicate pivot values produce an error
- Works with CTEs, subqueries, JOINs, and views

+     The <literal>PIVOT</literal> clause provides a declarative way to rotate
+     rows into columns, applying an aggregate function to create the pivoted
+     values.  This is commonly used in reporting and analytics to transform
+     normalized data into a cross-tabulation format.  The syntax is:
+<synopsis>
+<replaceable>table_reference</replaceable> PIVOT ( <replaceable>aggregate_function</replaceable>(<replaceable>value_column</replaceable>) FOR <replaceable>pivot_column</replaceable> IN (<replaceable>value1</replaceable>, <replaceable>value2</replaceable>, ...) )
+</synopsis>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     This syntax is compatible with Microsoft SQL Server (since 2005) and
+     Oracle Database (since 11g).  For reference, see
+     <ulink url="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/from-using-pivot-and-unpivot">SQL Server PIVOT documentation</ulink>

+     The <literal>PIVOT</literal> clause works as follows:

+ *
+ * Syntax:

+ *   FROM sales
+ *   GROUP BY region
+ *
+ * Implementation notes:
+ * - PIVOT transforms to FILTER aggregates at parse time (no executor changes)
+ * - Row identifiers (columns in SELECT not involved in pivot) are grouped
+ * - Any aggregate function is supported (not just built-in ones)
+ * - SELECT * is not allowed because we need to distinguish row identifiers
+ *   from pivot/value columns at parse time
+ * - Explicit GROUP BY is not allowed as PIVOT generates its own GROUP BY
