Fix MERGE into partitioned table with subquery in UPDATE targetlist.

Under some circumstances, a MERGE into a partitioned table with an
UPDATE action with a subquery in its targetlist would fail with a
"SubPlan found with no parent plan" error.

This was due to ExecInitPartitionInfo() passing a NULL parent
PlanState to ExecBuildUpdateProjection() for the MERGE UPDATE action's
targetlist. Fix by passing &mtstate->ps, like ExecInitMerge().

Backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.
