Doc: mention CREATE+ATTACH PARTITION with CREATE TABLE...PARTITION OF.
Clarify that ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION can be used to perform partitionmaintenance with less locking than straight CREATE TABLE/DROP TABLE.This was already stated in some places, but not emphasized.Back-patch to v14 where DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLY was added.(We had lower lock levels for ATTACH PARTITION before that, butthis wording wouldn't apply.)Justin Pryzby, reviewed by Robert Treat and Jakub Wartak;a little further wordsmithing by meDiscussion:https://postgr.es/m/20220718143304.GC18011@telsasoft.com
