0001 adds es_part_prune_result but does not use it, so maybe the
introduction of that field should be deferred until it's needed for
something.

I wonder whether it's really necessary to added the PartitionPruneInfo
objects to a list in PlannerInfo first and then roll them up into
PlannerGlobal later. I know we do that for range table entries, but
I've never quite understood why we do it that way instead of creating
a flat range table in PlannerGlobal from the start. And so by
extension I wonder whether this table couldn't be flat from the start
also.
