Rajkumar offlist reported two issues with earlier set of patches.
1. 0008 conflicted with latest changes in postgres_fdw/deparse.c.

2. In the earlier set of patches part_scheme of a join relation was
being set when joining relations had same part_scheme even if there
was no equi-join between partition keys. The idea being that
rel->part_scheme and rel->part_rels together tell whether a relation
is partitioned or not. At a later stage if none of the joining pairs
resulted in partitioned join, part_rels would be NULL and then we
would reset part_scheme as well. But this logic not required. For the
exact partition scheme matching, that we are using, if one pair of
joining relation has an equi-join on partition keys, and both of those
have exactly same partitioning scheme, all other pairs of joining
relations would have an equi-join on partition keys and also exactly
same partitioning scheme. So, we can set part_scheme only by looking
at the first pair of joining relation while building the child-join.

This set of patches fixes both of those things.
