non-Var sort/group expressions using ressortgroupref labels instead of depending entirely on equal()-ity of the upper node's tlist expressions to the lower node's. This avoids emitting the wrong outputs in cases where there are textually identical volatile sort/group expressions, as for example select distinct random(),random() from generate_series(1,10); Per report from Andrew Gierth. Backpatch to 8.4. Arguably this is wrong all the way back, but the only known case where there's an observable problem is when using hash aggregation to implement DISTINCT, which is new as of 8.4. So for the moment I'll refrain from backpatching further.
