Fix detaching partitions with cloned row triggers
When a partition is detached, any triggers that had been cloned from its
parent were not properly disentangled from its parent triggers.
This resulted in triggers that could not be dropped because they
depended on the trigger in the trigger in the no-longer-parent table:
  ALTER TABLE t DETACH PARTITION t1;
  DROP TRIGGER trig ON t1;
    ERROR:  cannot drop trigger trig on table t1 because trigger trig on table t requires it
    HINT:  You can drop trigger trig on table t instead.

Moreover the table can no longer be re-attached to its parent, because
the trigger name is already taken:
  ALTER TABLE t ATTACH PARTITION t1 FOR VALUES FROM (1)TO(2);
    ERROR:  trigger "trig" for relation "t1" already exists

The former is a bug introduced in commit 86f575948c.  (The latter is
not necessarily a bug, but it makes the bug more uncomfortable.)

To avoid the complexity that would be needed to tell whether the trigger
has a local definition that has to be merged with the one coming from
the parent table, establish the behavior that the trigger is removed
when the table is detached.

Backpatch to pg11.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
