   This is an (agent made) PoC branch for clickbench q4 `SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT 
UserID) FROM hits;`. In my test environment it's about 25% faster than `main`.
   
   The basic idea is to skip maintaining group-id when there is no requirement 
of it, e.g., for group-by cases without any accumulator.
   
   Other findings on this experiment:
   - this approach seems only work for primitive types, for other cases, like 
q5 `SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT SearchPhrase) FROM hits;` where the key is string 
type, the group calculation is not the critical path
   - I tried another approach for the same q4 query, where I change the group 
id type from 64 bits to 32 bits, it also improves a lot. My suspection is the 
changed memory layout of HashTable is the source of improvement. We can 
consider this further for other cases where group-id is required.
