 Django ships with a few `Aggregate` subclasses that expose a `distinct`
 kwarg in order to inject a `DISTINCT` clause on compilation.

 Since `DISTINCT` is repeatedly used by subclasses and likely to be useful
 for custom `Aggregate` subclasses (PostgreSQL supports `DISTINCT` on all
 aggregate functions, SQLite on all aggregates with a single argument, ...)
 I suggest we handle it in the `Aggregate` base class.

 We should be able to rely on `DatebaseOperations.check_expression_support`
 to prevent `distinct=True` from being passed to aggregates not supporting
 it on a backend basis.
