There was no KeyTypeCollInfo in early days of the patch and then I found
myself doing a lot of:

partexprs_item = list_head(key->partexprs);
for (attr in key->partattrs)
{
if (attr->attnum != 0)
{
// simple column reference, get type from attr
}
else
{
// expression, get type using exprType, etc.
partexprs_item = lnext(partexprs_item);
}
}

That ended up being quite a few places (though I managed to reduce the
number of places over time). So, I created this struct which is
initialized when partition key is built (on first open of the partitioned
table).

Thanks,
Amit
