I've spent a bit more time on this now and added a few extra
regression tests. The previous version had nothing to test to ensure
that an aggregate function being used as a window function does not
have its frame options changed when it's sharing the same WindowClause
as a WindowFunc which can have the frame options changed.
I've now pushed the final result. Thank you to everyone who provided
input on this.
