Create memory context for HashAgg with a reasonable maxBlockSize.
If the memory context's maxBlockSize is too big, a single block
allocation can suddenly exceed work_mem. For Hash Aggregation, this
can mean spilling to disk too early or reporting a confusing memory
usage number for EXPLAN ANALYZE.
Introduce CreateWorkExprContext(), which is like CreateExprContext(),
except that it creates the AllocSet with a maxBlockSize that is
reasonable in proportion to work_mem.
Right now, CreateWorkExprContext() is only used by Hash Aggregation,
but it may be generally useful in the future.
