Replace incorrect use of distinct with group (#14675)

Some uses of ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#distinct pass field names but they
are incorrect for the current version of Rails.

ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#group provides the expected behavior and
benefits performance. See commit 6da24aad4cafdef8d8a2c92bac2002a5fc2fe9c8.
