Remove overly-pessimistic statement about constraint exclusion.

As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements:
the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters,
and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus
never fall back to using the generic plan.  Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.

Constraint exclusion only works when the query's <literal>WHERE</>
clause contains constants. A parameterized query will not be
optimized, since the planner cannot know which partitions the
parameter value might select at run time. For the same reason,

For example, a comparison against a non-immutable function such as
