So to summarise my understanding (plus filling in the blanks):
1. Add single GUC named enable_partition_pruning, default = on.
2. Check this setting in set_append_rel_size to only perform
prune_append_rel_partitions when enable_partition_pruning is true.
3. Add code in create_append_plan to only call
make_partition_pruneinfo when enable_partition_pruning is true.
4. Replace test doing (constraint_exclusion ==
CONSTRAINT_EXCLUSION_PARTITION) with (enable_partition_pruning).
5. Get rid of CONSTRAINT_EXCLUSION_PARTITION.
I don't think you mentioned 5. but if I understand you correctly then
it would leave that option doing nothing. So we should remove it.

Yeah. we need to decide this before PG11 is let loose. I will add it.
