Fix parser so that we don't modify the user-written ORDER BY list in order
to represent DISTINCT or DISTINCT ON. This gets rid of a longstanding annoyance that a view or rule using SELECT DISTINCT will be dumped out with an overspecified ORDER BY list, and is one small step along the way to decoupling DISTINCT and ORDER BY enough so that hash-based implementation of DISTINCT will be possible. In passing, improve transformDistinctClause so that it doesn't reject duplicate DISTINCT ON items, as was reported by Steve Midgley a couple weeks ago.
