Re: Problem with default partition pruning

v3-0001 still seems to leave things a bit duplicative. I think we can
make it better if we move the logic to set RelOptInfo->partition_qual to
a separate routine (set_baserel_partition_constraint mirroring the
existing set_baserel_partition_key_exprs), and then call that from both
places that need access to partition_qual.

So I propose that the attached v4 patch should be the final form of this
(also rebased across today's list_concat API change). I verified that
constraint exclusion is not being called by partprune unless a default
partition exists (thanks errbacktrace()); I think that should appease
Simon's performance concern for the most common case of default
partition not existing.

I think I was not really understanding the comments being added by
Amit's v3, so I reworded them. I hope I understood the intent of the
code correctly.

I'm not comfortable with RelOptInfo->partition_qual. But I'd rather
leave that for another time.
