Doc: improve tutorial section about grouped aggregates.
Commitfede154 introduced FILTER by jamming it into the existingexample introducing HAVING, which seems pedagogically poor to me;and it added no information about what the keyword actually does.Not to mention that the claimed output didn't match the sampledata being used in this running example.Revert that and instead make an independent example using FILTER.To help drive home the point that it's a per-aggregate filter,we need to use two aggregates not just one; for consistencyexpand all the examples in this segment to do that.Also adjust the example using WHERE ... LIKE so that it'd producenonempty output with this sample data, and show that output.Back-patch, as the previous patch was. (Sadly, v10 is now outof scope.)Discussion:https://postgr.es/m/166794307526.652.9073408178177444190@wrigleys.postgresql.org

Aggregates are also very useful in combination with <literal>GROUP
709-
BY</literal> clauses. For example, we can get themaximum low

temperature observed in each city with:

Here, the <literal>count</literal> aggregate counts only
823+
rows with <literal>temp_lo</literal> below 45; but the
824+
<literal>max</literal> aggregate is still applied to all rows,
825+
so it still finds the reading of 46.
