Fix DECIMAL128 SUM support reporting and streaming null handling

[PointKernel]

Description

Closes #24065.

This PR fixes is_streaming_groupby_supported() to report support for DECIMAL128 SUM, matching the existing aggregation and merge implementations, which already use 128-bit atomic addition.

It also fixes null handling when a first batch without nulls is followed by batches or merges that introduce all-null groups. These groups now return null until a valid value is seen.

Adds regression coverage for DECIMAL128 keys and sums across scales, sliced batches, null handling, merges, and repeated keys.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved streaming group-by handling of null values, including groups receiving null-only inputs in later batches or merged results.
  • Added support for DECIMAL128 SUM in streaming aggregations.
  • Clarified validation for unsupported DECIMAL128 MIN/MAX aggregations.

• Tests

  • Expanded coverage for decimal streaming aggregations, null handling, repeated keys, batch slicing, merging, and result reuse.

Walkthrough

The streaming groupby implementation now supports DECIMAL128 SUM, rejects DECIMAL128 MIN/MAX, and initializes eligible direct aggregation results as null. Tests cover scales, null handling, slicing, merging, repeated keys, and large-value arithmetic.

Changes

DECIMAL128 streaming groupby

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capability checks and null-result initialization cpp/src/groupby/streaming_groupby/impl.cu, cpp/tests/groupby/streaming_groupby_test.cpp	DECIMAL128 SUM is accepted while DECIMAL128 MIN/MAX remain unsupported. Eligible direct aggregation result columns are initialized with all-null masks. Tests verify the supported aggregation types and result behavior.
DECIMAL128 SUM validation cpp/tests/groupby/streaming_groupby_test.cpp	Parameterized tests cover decimal scales, null policies, sliced batches, merges, repeated keys, source reuse, later null inputs, and high-word arithmetic cases.

This PR enables DECIMAL128 SUM support in streaming groupby and fixes null propagation for groups that start with no nulls but later receive all-null inputs. The functional tests are thorough (scales, null policies, slicing, merging, repeated keys), and the implementation reuses an existing 128-bit atomic addition path rather than introducing new arithmetic. The main outstanding gap is missing performance benchmark coverage for the new DECIMAL128 SUM code path, which is a minor follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a streaming DECIMAL128 SUM benchmark.

CONTRIBUTING.md requires unit tests and unit benchmarks. group_sum.cpp covers only non-streaming groupby with int64_t and decimal64; the streaming benchmark in group_max.cpp exercises MAX and skips decimal128. The streaming implementation routes DECIMAL128 SUM through the existing 128-bit atomic addition, but no benchmark measures that path. Add repeated-key cases and representative batch sizes.
