[jira] [Updated] (ASTERIXDB-2399) Rename COLL_* aggregate functions into STRICT_*

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-2399?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Till updated ASTERIXDB-2399:
----------------------------
    Description: 
There are 2 kinds of aggregation functions in SQL++ right now:
# those with the prefix ARRAY_ (which share SQL's behavior or ignoring NULL) and
# those with the prefix COLL_ (which return NULL, if one of the values is NULL).

To reduce the confusion about which functions implement a strict NULL handling we should rename to COLL_ functions to use the prefix STRICT_ instead.
