Tom Lane e7941a9766 Replace over-optimistic Assert in partitioning code with a runtime test. ...

get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple.  This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently.  The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.)  Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.

Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext.  90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise.  Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.
