   Addressing @alamb ’s comment from 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/23181#pullrequestreview-4602624169
   
   The motivation behind the EPIC was that the existing aggregation code had 
too many internal flags and was reused by many different execution paths, 
making it hard to maintain. The previous refactor made two main changes:
   
   1. Split different aggregation modes, such as partial and final, into 
separate streams.
   2. Split the hash tables used by different aggregation modes into separate 
implementations.
   
   Now that the refactor is almost done, with only single aggregation mode and 
spilling behavior left, I think decision 1 was still solid, while **decision 2 
was an overcorrection**.
   
   A module usually becomes hard to maintain when it has many tightly coupled 
internal flags. In the old `GroupsHashAggregateStream` case, there were ~10 
such flags. But a small number of flags, I think <= 3, is still clean and 
manageable.
   
   This PR unifies the aggregate hash tables used by different modes into a 
single implementation. The behavioral differences are controlled by one 
internal `mode` flag. See the comments in `common.rs: struct 
AggregateHashTable`, for details.
   
   Since this refactor is close to completion, I can confirm the internal 
complexity of `AggregateHashTable` is not likely to bloat in the long term, so 
unifying these implementations seems like the better design.

   <!--
   There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is 
sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR.

   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   Existing tests
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   4. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?

   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   <!--
   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.

   <!--
   If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api 
change` label.
