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.
