Better handle pseudotypes as partition keys
We fail to handle polymorphic types properly when they are used as partition keys: we were unnecessarily adding a RelabelType node on top, which confuses code examining the nodes. In particular, this makes predtest.c-based partition pruning not to work, and ruleutils.c to emit expressions that are uglier than needed. Fix it by not adding RelabelType when not needed. In master/11 the new pruning code is separate so it doesn't suffer from this problem, since we already fixed it (in essentially the same way) in e5dcbb88, which also added a few tests; back-patch those tests to pg10 also. But since UPDATE/DELETE still uses predtest.c in pg11, this change improves partitioning for those cases too. Add tests for this. The ruleutils.c behavior change is relevant in pg11/master too.
