Re-allow INSERT .. ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING on partitioned tables.

Commit 8355a011a0 was reverted in
f05230752d, but this attempt is
hopefully better-considered: we now pass the correct value to
ExecOpenIndices, which should avoid the crash that we hit before.

editing by me.

        Using the <literal>ON CONFLICT</literal> clause with partitioned tables

-       hierarchy.
+       will cause an error if the conflict target is specified (see
+       <xref linkend="sql-on-conflict" /> for more details on how the clause
+       works).  Therefore, it is not possible to specify
+       <literal>DO UPDATE</literal> as the alternative action, because
+       specifying the conflict target is mandatory in that case.  On the other
+       hand, specifying <literal>DO NOTHING</literal> as the alternative action
+       works fine provided the conflict target is not specified.  In that case,
+       unique constraints (or exclusion constraints) of the individual leaf
