Add code to count() to cause it to create valid SQL when distinct=true and col is unspecified or "*". Otherwise the SQL generated is COUNT(DISTINCT(*)), which is invalid. Issues referenced below were already closed, but the issue hadn't actually been fixed, and it keeps coming up.

Description of change

Add code to count() to cause it to create valid SQL when distinct=true and col is unspecified or "". Otherwise the SQL generated is COUNT(DISTINCT()), which is invalid. Issues referenced below were already closed, but the issue hadn't actually been fixed, and it keeps coming up.

#11893 was this PR against v5. This PR is against master.

Notes:
Tests: Tested against Postgres 11 only. There are failures, but they seem to be failures in master, not in anything that I changed. The only change I made is in the count() function, and none of the failures hits that function. Sorry, I don't have time to install the custom Docker Postgres; the related tests passed.

Related tickets: #2713, #6404, #6418, #7344 -- all were "closed", but none were previously actually fixed. Workarounds were listed, but those workarounds don't work at all if you're using Sequelize with Feathers-Sequelize and Sequelize-TypeScript. Besides, Sequelize shouldn't generate bad code when the options aren't perfect.

Add code to count() to cause it to create valid SQL when distinct=true and col is unspecified or "*". Otherwise the SQL generated is COUNT(DISTINCT(*)), which is invalid. Issues referenced below were already closed, but the issue hadn't actually been fixed, and it _keeps coming up_.

We have a problem with Sequelize and how it handles distinct SQL queries causing slots (JOIN table) to be empty
when fetching many events. This breaks the calendar.
