Support aggregate functions in Eval expressions

[LantaoJin]

Description

Aggregate functions could work in select clause even there is no group by as long as all items in select are aggregate functions.
Here are some examples:

select max(a) from t
select max(a), min(a), count(a) from t

But the following queries should throw exceptions

select a, max(a) from t
select a, max(a), min(a), count(a) from t
select *, max(a), min(a), count(a) from t

They could work with a group by

select a, max(a) from t group by b
select a, max(a), min(a), count(a) from t group by b
select *, max(a), min(a), count(a) from t group by b

Similar, aggregate functions in PPL could work in eval command, because an eval expression equals to add a projection to existing project list.
Here are some examples:

source=t | eval m = max(a) | fields m
source=t | eval m = max(a), n = count(a) | fields m, n
source=t | eval m = max(a) | n = count(a) | fields m, n

But the following PPL queries should throw exceptions

source=t | eval m = max(a) -- equals to all fields plus m
source=t | eval m = max(a), n = count(a) | fields a, m, n
source=t | eval m = max(a) | n = count(a) | fields a, m, n

This change is not related. Just enable the test since fields exclude list has been supported.

@LantaoJin this is great !
