Create a third option named "partition" for constraint_exclusion, and make it
the default. This setting enables constraint exclusion checks only forappendrel members (ie, inheritance children and UNION ALL arms), which arethe cases in which constraint exclusion is most likely to be useful. Avoidingthe overhead for simple queries that are unlikely to benefit should bringthe cost down to the point where this is a reasonable default setting.Per today's discussion.
