f0efa5aec added initReadOnlyStringInfo to allow a StringInfo to be initialized from an existing buffer and also relaxed the requirement that a StringInfo's buffer must be NUL terminated at data[len]. Now that we have that, there's no need for these aggregate deserial functions to use appendBinaryStringInfo() as that rather wastefully palloc'd a new buffer and memcpy'd in the bytea's buffer. Instead, we can just use the bytea's buffer and point the StringInfo directly to that using the new initializer function. In Amdahl's law, this speeds up the serial portion of parallel aggregates and makes sum(numeric), avg(numeric), var_pop(numeric), var_samp(numeric), variance(numeric), stddev_pop(numeric), stddev_samp(numeric), stddev(numeric), array_agg(anyarray), string_agg(text) and string_agg(bytea) scale better in parallel queries.
