Allow partitionwise joins in more cases.
Previously, the partitionwise join technique only allowed partitionwise join when input partitioned tables had exactly the same partition bounds. This commit extends the technique to some cases when the tables have different partition bounds, by using an advanced partition-matching algorithm introduced by this commit. For both the input partitioned tables, the algorithm checks whether every partition of one input partitioned table only matches one partition of the other input partitioned table at most, and vice versa. In such a case the join between the tables can be broken down into joins between the matching partitions, so the algorithm produces the pairs of the matching partitions, plus the partition bounds for the join relation, to allow partitionwise join for computing the join. Currently, the algorithm works for list-partitioned and range-partitioned tables, but not hash-partitioned tables. See comments in partition_bounds_merge().
