I have updated the patch to make it similar to the way default/null is
handled in list partition, removing the PARTITION_RANGE_DATUM_DEFAULT.
This is to be applied over v24 patches shared by Jeevan [1] which
applies on commit id 5ff3d73813ebcc3ff80be77c30b458d728951036.

The RelationBuildPartitionDesc has been modified a lot, especially the
way all_bounds, ndatums and rbounds are set.
