Allow left join removals and unique joins on partitioned tables

This allows left join removals and unique joins to work with partitioned
tables.  The planner just lacked sufficient proofs that a given join
would not cause any row duplication.  Unique indexes currently serve as
that proof, so have get_relation_info() populate the indexlist for
partitioned tables too.
