Disallow NO INHERIT not-null constraints on partitioned tables
Such constraints are semantically useless and only bring weird cases
along, so reject them.

As a side effect, we can no longer have "throwaway" constraints in
pg_dump for primary keys in partitioned tables, but since they don't
serve any useful purpose, we can just omit them.

Maybe this should be done for all types of constraints, but it's just
not-null ones that acquired this "ability" in the 17 timeframe, so for
the moment I'm not changing anything else.

Per note by Alexander Lakhin.

Parser
======

This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries.  It also
creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed
to the optimizer and then executor.

parser.c	things start here
scan.l		break query into tokens
scansup.c	handle escapes in input strings
gram.y		parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree
analyze.c	top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries
parse_agg.c	handle aggregates, like SUM(col1),  AVG(col2), ...
parse_clause.c	handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ...
parse_coerce.c	handle coercing expressions to different data types
parse_collate.c	assign collation information in completed expressions
parse_cte.c	handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses)
parse_expr.c	handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4
parse_enr.c	handle ephemeral named rels (trigger transition tables, ...)
parse_func.c	handle functions, table.column and column identifiers
parse_merge.c	handle MERGE
parse_node.c	create nodes for various structures
parse_oper.c	handle operators in expressions
parse_param.c	handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend)
parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling
parse_target.c	handle the result list of the query
parse_type.c	support routines for data type handling
parse_utilcmd.c	parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)

See also src/common/keywords.c, which contains the table of standard
keywords and the keyword lookup function.  We separated that out because
various frontend code wants to use it too.
