Hi,
I am working to compatible with Oracle in PG,
in oracle, the result used case-insensitive collation is not unique.
There are two oracle's test case:
first case:
```sql
CREATE TABLE group_by_ci_test_1 (c varchar2(20));
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_1 VALUES ('a');
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_1 VALUES ('a');
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_1 VALUES ('A');
SELECT c collate binary_ci, count(c) FROM group_by_ci_test_1 GROUP BY c collate binary_ci;
```
first result
```shell
CCOLLATEBINARY_CI COUNT(C)
-------------------- ----------
a 3
```
second case:
```sql
CREATE TABLE group_by_ci_test_2 (c varchar2(20));
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_2 VALUES ('A');
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_2 VALUES ('a');
INSERT INTO group_by_ci_test_2 VALUES ('a');
SELECT c collate binary_ci, count(c) FROM group_by_ci_test_2 GROUP BY c collate binary_ci;
```
second result:
```shell
CCOLLATEBINARY_CI COUNT(C)
-------------------- ----------
A 6
```

+SELECT c collate case_insensitive, count(c) FROM
+pagg_tab_col GROUP BY c collate case_insensitive;
+ c | count
+---+-------
+ e | 600
+ D | 600
+ C | 600
+ B | 600
+ A | 600
+(5 rows)
```
Shouldn't we use UPPER(c) and ORDER BY in the test case to make the
results deterministic?
