Interesting example, thanks.  It seems this can be fixed without
breaking anything else by changing the planner so that it includes
detached partitions when we are in a snapshot-isolation transaction.
Indeed, the results from the detach-partition-concurrently-1.spec
isolation test are more satisfying with this change.

The attached v2, on current master, includes that change, as well as
fixes a couple of silly bugs in the previous one.

(Because of experimenting with git workflow I did not keep the 0001
part split in this one, but that part is unchanged from v1.)
