David Rowley f0c409d9c7 Fix incorrect step generation in HASH partition pruning
get_steps_using_prefix_recurse() incorrectly assumed that it could stop
recursive processing of the 'prefix' list when cur_keyno was one before
the step_lastkeyno.  Since hash partition pruning can prune using IS
NULL quals, and these IS NULL quals are not present in the 'prefix'
list, then that logic could cause more levels of recursion than what is
needed and lead to there being no more items in the 'prefix' list to
process.  This would manifest itself as a crash in some code that
expected the 'start' ListCell not to be NULL.

Here we adjust the logic so that instead of stopping recursion at 1 key
before the step_lastkeyno, we just look at the llast(prefix) item and
ensure we only recursively process up until just before whichever the last
key is.  This effectively allows keys to be missing in the 'prefix' list.

This change does mean that step_lastkeyno is no longer needed, so we
remove that from the static functions.  I also spent quite some time
reading this code and testing it to try to convince myself that there
are no other issues.  That resulted in the irresistible temptation of
rewriting some comments, many of which were just not true or inconcise.

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
