Fix relcache inconsistency hazard in partition detach
During queries coming from ri_triggers.c, we need to omit partitions
that are marked pending detach -- otherwise, the RI query is tricked
into allowing a row into the referencing table whose corresponding row
is in the detached partition.  Which is bogus: once the detach operation
completes, the row becomes an orphan.

However, the code was not doing that in repeatable-read transactions,
because relcache kept a copy of the partition descriptor that included
the partition, and used it in the RI query.  This commit changes the
partdesc cache code to only keep descriptors that aren't dependent on
a snapshot (namely: those where no detached partition exist, and those
where detached partitions are included).  When a partdesc-without-
detached-partitions is requested, we create one afresh each time; also,
those partdescs are stored in PortalContext instead of
CacheMemoryContext.

find_inheritance_children gets a new output *detached_exist boolean,
which indicates whether any partition marked pending-detach is found.
Its "include_detached" input flag is changed to "omit_detached", because
that name captures desired the semantics more naturally.
CreatePartitionDirectory() and RelationGetPartitionDesc() arguments are
identically renamed.

This was noticed because a buildfarm member that runs with relcache
clobbering, which would not keep the improperly cached partdesc, broke
one test, which led us to realize that the expected output of that test
was bogus.  This commit also corrects that expected output.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
