Thanks!

I found two issues today. One, server side, is that during cloning for
partition attach we were not checking for concurrent deletion of
referenced tuples in partitions. I added an isolation spec test for
this. To fix the bug, added a find_all_inheritors() to lock all
partitions with ShareRowExclusiveLock.

Another is that psql's \d failed for versions < 12, because we were
inconditionally adding an "AND conparentid = 0" clause.

I also reworked CloneForeignKeyConstraints. The previous style was
being forced by the old recursing method; now we can make it a lot
simpler -- it's now just two subroutine calls.

I'm satisfied with this patch now, so I intend to push early tomorrow.
