Build EC members for child join rels in the right memory context.

This patch prevents crashes or wrong plans when partition-wise joins
are considered during GEQO planning, as a consequence of the
EquivalenceClass data structures becoming corrupt after a GEQO
context reset.

A remaining problem is that successive GEQO cycles will make multiple
copies of the required EC members, since add_child_join_rel_equivalences
has no idea that such members might exist already.  For now we'll just
live with that.  The lack of field complaints of crashes suggests that
this is a mighty little-used situation.

Back-patch to v12 where this code was introduced.
