    To correctly decide which predicates can be evaluated with a given table
    the optimizer must know the exact set of tables that a predicate depends 
    on. If that mask is too wide (refer to non-existing tables) the optimizer
    can erroneously skip a predicate.
    One such case of wrong table usage mask were the aggregate functions.
    The have a all-1 mask (meaning depend on all tables, including non-existent
    ones).
    Fixed by making a real used_tables mask for the aggregates. The mask is
    constructed in the following way :
    1. OR the table dependency masks of all the arguments of the aggregate.
    2. If all the arguments of the function are from the local name resolution 
      context and it is evaluated in the same name resolution
      context where it is referenced all the tables from that name resolution 
      context are OR-ed to the dependency mask. This is to denote that an
      aggregate function depends on the number of rows it processes.
    3. Handle correctly the case of an aggregate function optimization (such that
      the aggregate function can be pre-calculated and made a constant).
    
    Made sure that an aggregate function is never a constant (unless subject of a 
    specific optimization and pre-calculation).  
    
    One other flaw was revealed and fixed in the process : references were 
    not calling the recalculation method for used_tables of their targets.
