Description
### Search before asking
- [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
We are planning to migrate our business from Hudi to Paimon. Its partial field update mechanism greatly improves multi-stream merging jobs. Unfortunately, we use a custom payload for field merging, and Paimon does not have a similar extension mechanism.
### Solution
We hope that later versions could support custom aggregate function.
### Anything else?
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit a PR?

Research direction
Start by reading Paimon's partial field update and FieldAggregator implementation and trace how field merging is selected. Define the extension points and compatibility requirements for a user-defined aggregate function, then add coverage showing a custom merger is invoked during partial updates.
