Similar to ogrinfo and ogrListLayers

I don't know for sure if this is the best way to go, but with the tiled processing, outputting directly from the db creates a layer chopped up by tiles... which is fine, but sometimes you want to aggregate, which is why I added the --aggregate_fields option to dump. The catch is, you don't necessarily know what fields are available to aggregate by, so this type of functionality would help

I think this one can be closed.

aggregation now happens after dump via mapshaper
user can see what is in the various tables with a postgres client
