Support partition pruning at execution time
Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query quals that appear in the parsed query. This is good but limiting, as there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to further prune partitions. This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match. We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support additionally includes: 1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to scan. 2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which partitions match the value from the initplan. Partition pruning is performed in two ways. When Params external to the plan are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append subplans during the initialization of the executor. This allows us to bypass the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution then the pruning of these subplans must wait. Subplans which are eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN output. In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed. If a certain Append subplan was never executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution timing area will state "(never executed)". Whereas, if, for example in the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times. This is due to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a parameter which was found to match the partition key changes. This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable. This allows us to translate a list of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be included to satisfy the clause list.
