Fix unnecessary use of moving-aggregate mode with non-moving frame.
When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window
frame start is specified as UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, the frame's head
cannot move so we do not need to use moving-aggregate mode. The check
for that was put into initialize_peragg(), failing to notice that
ExecInitWindowAgg() calls that function before it's filled in
winstate->frameOptions. Since makeNode() would have zeroed the field,
this didn't provoke uninitialized-value complaints, nor would the
erroneous decision have resulted in more than a little inefficiency.
Still, it's wrong, so move the initialization of
winstate->frameOptions earlier to make it work properly.
While here, also fix a thinko in a comment. Both errors crept in in
commit a9d9acbf2 which introduced the moving-aggregate mode.
