Subject: Fix bundling aggregations if unsigned is not a returned event field.
 (#12234)

An error occured if a filter was supplied with `event_fields` which did not include
`unsigned`.

In that case, bundled aggregations are still added as the spec states it is allowed
for servers to add additional fields.

+Fix a long-standing bug when a `filter` argument with `event_fields` supplied but not including the `unsigned` field could result in a 500 error on `/sync`.
