Thanks for the test.

I was trying to be conservative not to include
PVC_RECURSE_CONVERTROWTYPES everywhere. But it looks like because of
inheritance_planner() and partition-wise aggregate commit, we can have
ConvertRowtypeExprs almost everywhere. Added
PVC_RECURSE_CONVERTROWTYPEs in almost all the places except the ones
listed in 0001 patch.

Thanks for the tests and review.

Here's updated patch set.
