Stop creating constraints during DETACH CONCURRENTLY Commit 71f4c8c6f74b (which implemented DETACH CONCURRENTLY) added code to create a separate table constraint when a table is detached concurrently, identical to the partition constraint, on the theory that such a constraint was needed in case the optimizer had constructed any query plans that depended on the constraint being there. However, that theory was apparently bogus because any such plans would be invalidated. For hash partitioning, those constraints are problematic, because their expressions reference the OID of the parent partitioned table, to which the detached table is no longer related; this causes all sorts of problems (such as inability of restoring a pg_dump of that table, and the table no longer working properly if the partitioned table is later dropped). We'd like to get rid of all those constraints. In fact, for branch master, do that -- no longer create any substitute constraints. However, out of fear that some users might somehow depend on these constraints for other partitioning strategies, for stable branches (back to 14, which added DETACH CONCURRENTLY), only do it for hash partitioning. (If you repeatedly DETACH CONCURRENTLY and then ATTACH a partition, then with this constraint addition you don't need to scan the table in the ATTACH step, which presumably is good. But if users really valued this feature, they would have requested that it worked for non-concurrent DETACH also.)
