[SPARK-4322][SQL] Enables struct fields as sub expressions of grouping fields While resolving struct fields, the resulted `GetField` expression is wrapped with an `Alias` to make it a named expression. Assume `a` is a struct instance with a field `b`, then `"a.b"` will be resolved as `Alias(GetField(a, "b"), "b")`. Thus, for this following SQL query: ```sql SELECT a.b + 1 FROM t GROUP BY a.b + 1 ``` the grouping expression is ```scala Add(GetField(a, "b"), Literal(1, IntegerType)) ``` while the aggregation expression is ```scala Add(Alias(GetField(a, "b"), "b"), Literal(1, IntegerType)) ``` This mismatch makes the above SQL query fail during the both analysis and execution phases. This PR fixes this issue by removing the alias when substituting aggregation expressions.
