#3672: Change aggregate functions to use new syntax

 For this, it's not necessary to drop existing (so no need to put in a
 Changed: ...).  Internally PostgreSQL shows the new syntax anyway.

 Just to keep our code base more up to date and make it easier to stuff
 args such as parallel = safe without having to rewrite the display.

 Note that most of our postgis aggs look like old syntax:

 {{{
 CREATE AGGREGATE some_agg( basetype = geometry ... )
 }}}

 But the newer syntax has been supported since at least PostgreSQL 8.4

 {{{
 CREATE AGGREGATE some_agg(geometry)( ... )
 }}}

 So we can certainly use in 2.1+
