Simplify the last-value aggregate (#4343)

Instead of treating the returned *lastValue as an aggregator from
newLastValue, just use the type directly to construct the Measure and
ComputeAggregation functions returned from the Builder.

Accept a destination type for the underlying computeAggregation. This
allows memory reuse for collections which adds a considerable
optimization.

Simplify the integration testing of the last-value aggregate.

Update benchmarking.
