Description
PostgreSQL 9.5 introduced cube, grouping sets and rollup. MySQL/MariaDB supports the rollup-operation for aggregations. Oracle (obviously) also supports rollup, grouping sets and cube. I suggest adding methods in QuerySet for this, feature-flags to indicate level of support, and either new expressions for the different rollup-syntax, or amend the operations of the backends for this. The syntax is slightly different in MySQL/MariaDB, as it uses WITH ROLLUP, rather than ROLLUP.

Tentatively accepting. It might be nice to elaborate on the details such as by writing documentation and getting feedback on that before starting to code.
