Re: default partition and concurrent attach partition

Hi,

Andres added to CC because of TTS interface: apparently calling
slot_getallattrs() on a virtual slot raises error that "getsomeattrs is
not required to be called on a virtual tuple table slot". I'm thinking
that this exposes implementation details that should not be necessary
for a caller to know; patch 0001 fixes that at the problematic caller by
making the slot_getallatrs() call conditional on the slot not being
virtual, but I wonder if the better fix isn't to remove the elog(ERROR)
at tts_virtual_getsomeattrs.

Moving on from that -- this is a version of Amit's previous patch that I
like better. I think the "prev_myslot" thing was a bit ugly, but it
turns out that with the above fix we can clear the slot before creating
the new one, making things more sensible. I also changed the "do {}
while ()" into a simple "while {}" loop, which is sensible since the
condition is true on loop entrance. Minor comment rewording also.
