[Feature]: Allow omission of time_bucket and aggregation when creating continuous aggregate #6960

What problem does the new feature solve?

For many use cases there is no need to aggregate data. In this case the cagg acts simply as a real time materialized view. It would be extremely convenient to have caggs generalized in this way.
