Fix tablespace inheritance for partitioned rels
This doc change doesn't make sense to me:

+ not explicitly specify a tablespace. It also determines the tablespace

</para>
default_tablespace is a global GUC, so if a partitioned relation "directs"
partitions anywhere, it's not to the fallback value of the GUC, but to its
reltablespace, as this patch wrote in doc/src/sgml/ref/create_table.sgml:
+ the tablespace specified overrides <literal>default_tablespace</literal>
+ as the default tablespace to use for any newly created partitions when no
+ other tablespace is explicitly specified.
Maybe I'm misreading config.sgml somehow ?
I thought it would be more like this (but actually I think <default_tablespace>
shouldn't say anything at all):
+ ... It also determines the tablespace where new partitions are created,
+ if the parent, partitioned relation doesn't have a tablespace set.
