Re: Partitioned tables and covering indexes

Patch makes buildfarm almost red, patch is temporary reverted.

Actually, discovered bug is not related to patch except new test faces with it,
problem is: CompareIndexInfo() checks rd_opfamily for equality for all 
attributes, not only for key attribute.

Obviously, CompareIndexInfo() needs more work:
     for (i = 0; i < info1->ii_NumIndexAttrs; i++)
     {
         if (maplen < info2->ii_KeyAttrNumbers[i])

Seems, we can go out from ii_KeyAttrNumbers array.
