Description

As an extension of #28658, aggregates should be supported for other general aggregates such as Avg and Sum. Before 2.2, these aggregations just ignored the parameter, but now throw an exception.

This change would just involve setting these classes as allowing DISTINCT, and could also be applied to Min and Max (although pointless).

Must disagree, felixxm. Neither StdDev nor Variance is in scope for this task as using the DISTINCT keyword on these aggregates is not as widely supported by SQL backends (such as Oracle). Supporting these would require more involved work. Some discussion was had about using check_expression_support() in GH9174 but was dropped.
