I have committed this.

I made a few small last-minute tweaks:

- Changed "non-deterministic" to "arbitrary", as suggested by Maciek
Sakrejda nearby. This seemed like a handier and less jargony term.

- Removed trailing whitespace in misc.c.

- Changed the function description in pg_proc.dat. Apparently, we are
using 'aggregate transition function' there for all aggregate functions
(instead of 'any_value transition function' etc.).

- Made the tests a bit more interested by feeding in more rows and a mix
of null and nonnull values.
