[rql2sql] when using HAVING to by-pass rql limitation (not to filter on result of an aggregat function), we should emit SQL that doesn't use HAVING to avoid potential backend error because variables are not grouped. Closes #1061603.

CubicWeb features
=================

This page  tries to resume features found in the bare cubicweb framework,
how mature and documented they are.

:code maturity (CM):

  - 0: experimental, not ready at all for production, may be killed

  - 1: draft / unsatisfying, api may change in a near future, much probably in long
       term

  - 2: good enough, api sounds good but will probably evolve a bit with more
    hindsight

  - 3: mature, backward incompatible changes unexpected (may still evolve though,
    of course)


:documentation level (DL):

  - 0: no documentation

  - 1: poor documentation

  - 2: some valuable documentation but some parts keep uncovered

  - 3: good / complete documentation
