I not known. In v4 i use DEBUG1 message and do not check code path in tests at all: by full table scan or by
constraint,i tested only command result to not break behavior.
Today Ildar Musin proposed to test code path through NotNullImpliedByRelConstraints function. This is my first patch
andI do not have the confidence to write a test. So I looked more closely at the alter table tests, found several info
inattach partition and updated my patch.

In src/test/regress/expected/alter_table.out i found 7 test with
> INFO: partition constraint for table "..." is implied by existing constraints
and 5 with
> INFO: updated partition constraint for default partition "..." is implied by existing constraints
ereport's are in ValidatePartitionConstraints function src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c
