Previously, we emitted the ATTACH PARTITION command as part of
the child table's ArchiveEntry.  This was a poor choice since it
complicates restoring the partition as a standalone table; you have
to ignore the error from the ATTACH, which isn't even an option when
restoring direct-to-database with pg_restore.  (pg_restore will issue
the whole ArchiveEntry as one PQexec, so that any error rolls back
the table creation as well.)  Hence, separate it out as its own
ArchiveEntry, as indeed we already did for index ATTACH PARTITION
commands.
