Commit 383eb21eb taught the planner to convert a NOT IN sublink to an
anti-join when the sub-select's outputs are provably non-nullable.
Since the sub-select has not been through any planner processing at
that point, a reference to a virtual generated column is still a plain
Var, and query_outputs_are_not_nullable() relied on the column's NOT
NULL constraint to prove it non-nullable.
That is not safe for a partitioned table. A partition can have a
generation expression different from its parent's, and it enforces the
NOT NULL constraint against its own expression, whereas a query on the
parent computes the column using the parent's expression. So the
column can be NULL when read through the parent despite the
constraint, and the anti-join would then produce wrong results, as it
returns rows that NOT IN should have rejected.
To fix, make var_is_nonnullable() ignore the NOT NULL constraint on a
virtual generated column of a partitioned table when consulting the
catalogs. The other sources of NOT NULL information are only used
after virtual generated columns have been expanded, so they are not
affected.
