While working on CIC for partitioned tables [1], I noticed that REINDEX for
partitioned tables is not tracking keeping progress of partitioned tables,
so I'm creating a separate thread for this fix as suggested.

This limitation is not a bug, because we already document that
partitions_total and partitions_done are 0 during a REINDEX.  Compared
to CREATE INDEX, a REINDEX is a bit wilder as it would work on all the
indexes for all the partitions, providing this information makes
sense.

Agreed that this could be better, but what's now on HEAD is not wrong
either.

Still it does not do it because we know that the fields are going to
be overwritten pretty quickly anyway, no?  For now, we could just do
without progress_index_partition_done(), I guess, keeping it to the
incrementation of PROGRESS_CREATEIDX_PARTITIONS_DONE.  There's an
argument that this makes the code slightly easier to follow, with less
wrappers around the progress reporting.

+ int progress_params[3] = {
+ PROGRESS_CREATEIDX_COMMAND,
+ PROGRESS_CREATEIDX_PHASE,
+ PROGRESS_CREATEIDX_PARTITIONS_TOTAL
+ };
+ int64 progress_values[3];
+ Oid heapId = relid;

Rather than having new code blocks, let's use a style consistent with
DefineIndex() where we have the pgstat_progress_update_multi_param(),
with a single {} block.

Adding the counter increment at the end of the loop in
ReindexMultipleInternal() is a good idea.  It considers both the
concurrent and non-concurrent cases.

+   progress_values[2] = list_length(partitions);
+   pgstat_progress_start_command(PROGRESS_COMMAND_CREATE_INDEX, heapId);

Hmm.  Is setting the relid only once for pg_stat_progress_create_index
the best choice there is?  Could it be better to report the partition
OID instead?

 Let's remember that indexes may have been attached with
names inconsistent with the partitioned table's index.  It is a bit
confusing to stick to the relid all the partitioned table all the
time, for all the indexes of all the partitions reindexed.

 Could it
be better to actually introduce an entirely new field to the progress
table?  What I would look for is more information:
1) the partitioned table OID on which the REINDEX runs
2) the partition table being processed
3) the index OID being processed (old and new for concurrent case).

The patch sets 1) to the OID of the partitioned table, lacks 2) and
sets 3) each time an index is rebuilt.
