Here is another set of patches, just rebasing and fixing a CI failure in contrib/sepgsql.

I agree that UPDATE/DELETE FOR PORTION OF is a lot to add this late in the cycle. Can you say more
about the problems at that link though? The change you asked for has been in the patches since v45.
There is something similar happening for the range constructor, so maybe that's what you're seeing
now? But in that case we don't have prior oid access. Looking up the function by range type name and
arg count/type is the only way to get it. I guess I don't have to use makeFuncCall and
transformExpr, but since I *do* need to call transformExpr on the FROM and TO inputs, it seems
simplest to do it all together.

Okay, when you have time please let me know more about this. Using SPI fixed a lot of issues around
firing triggers on the leftover inserts, as well as tuple routing for partitioned tables. For
details see

I thought since we use SPI for foreign keys, it should be safe to use it here as well.

Vignesh closed the current commitfest entry already, but I'll make a new one. The patches mostly
depend on each other, so I'll make just one.
Rebased to 5941946d09.
