@brief
Remove duplicates from a temporary table.
@detail
Remove duplicate rows from a temporary table. This is used for e.g. queries
like
select distinct count(*) as CNT from tbl group by col
Here, we get a group table with count(*) values. It is not possible to
prevent duplicates from appearing in the table (as we don't know the values
before we've done the grouping). Because of that, we have this function to
scan the temptable (maybe, multiple times) and remove the duplicate rows
Rows that do not satisfy 'having' condition are also removed.
