Rework HashAgg GUCs.
Eliminate enable_groupingsets_hash_disk, which was primarily useful for testing grouping sets that use HashAgg and spill. Instead, hack the table stats to convince the planner to choose hashed aggregation for grouping sets that will spill to disk. Suggested by Melanie Plageman. Rename enable_hashagg_disk to hashagg_avoid_disk_plan, and invert the meaning of on/off. The new name indicates more strongly that it only affects the planner. Also, the word "avoid" is less definite, which should avoid surprises when HashAgg still needs to use the disk. Change suggested by Justin Pryzby, though I chose a different GUC name.
