Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

We have a use case where the query groups by columns that are implicitly sorted, and we would like DataFusion to recognize that ordering so it can apply pipeline aggregation.

Consider the following query:

```SQL
SELECT ...
FROM t
GROUP BY a, b;
```

In our data, the input is explicitly sorted only by `a`. However, `b` is always unique within each `(a, b)` pair, which means the data is implicitly sorted by `(a, b)` even though only `a` appears in the physical sort order.

If DataFusion could infer or be informed that the data is effectively sorted by (a, b), it would be able to use pipeline aggregation, resulting in better performance.

This is related to https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/16899

### Describe the solution you'd like

We need to define and propagate the uniqueness-based sort order.
