Add GUC enable_partition_pruning

This controls both plan-time and execution-time new-style partition
pruning.  While finer-grain control is possible (maybe using an enum GUC
instead of boolean), there doesn't seem to be much need for that.

This new parameter controls partition pruning for all queries:
trivially, SELECT queries that affect partitioned tables are naturally
under its control since they are using the new technology.  However,
while UPDATE/DELETE queries do not use the new code, we make the new GUC
control their behavior also (stealing control from
constraint_exclusion), because it is more natural, and it leads to a
more natural transition to the future in which those queries will also
use the new pruning code.

Constraint exclusion still controls pruning for regular inheritance
situations (those not involving partitioned tables).

Currently, constraint exclusion is enabled by default
only for cases that are often used to implement table partitioning.
Turning it on for all tables imposes extra planning overhead that is
quite noticeable on simple queries, and most often will yield no
benefit for simple queries. If you have no partitioned tables
you might prefer to turn it off entirely.
