Allow a partdesc-omitting-partitions to be cached
Makes partition descriptor acquisition faster during the transient
period in which a partition is in the process of being detached.
This also adds the restriction that only one partition can be in
pending-detach state for a partitioned table.
While at it, return find_inheritance_children() API to what it was
before 71f4c8c6f74b, and create a separate
find_inheritance_children_extended() that returns detailed info about
detached partitions.
(This incidentally fixes a bug in 8aba9322511 whereby a memory context
holding a transient partdesc is reparented to a NULL PortalContext,
leading to permanent leak of that memory. The fix is to no longer rely
on reparenting contexts to PortalContext. Reported by Amit Langote.)
