Cardinality Estimation for Having-Clauses

Summary: Introduces cardinality estimators for single-table HAVING predicates over count, sum, avg, min, and max, both with and without WHERE filters. Extends estimation to conjunctive and disjunctive HAVING clauses. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
