Per the comment at the head of describe.c, we only expect it to work
back to 7.4. I tested against a 7.4 server, the modified queries
seem fine.

Pushed with minor fiddling with the toast-table code, and rather
more significant hacking on the partitioned-index code. Notably,
0003 had broken output of Tablespace: footers for everything except
indexes. It's possibly not Justin's fault that that wasn't noticed,
because we had no regression tests covering it :-(. We do now.
