Doc: add information about partition locking

The documentation around locking of partitions for the executor startup
phase of run-time partition pruning wasn't clear about which partitions
were being locked.  Fix that.

-       <command>EXPLAIN</command> output.
+       <command>EXPLAIN</command> output.  The query planner obtains locks for
+       all partitions which are part of the plan.  However, when the executor
+       uses a cached plan, locks are only obtained on the partitions which
+       remain after partition pruning done during the initialization phase of
+       execution, i.e., the ones shown in the <command>EXPLAIN</command>
+       output and not the ones referred to by the
+       <quote>Subplans Removed</quote> property.
       </para>
      </listitem>

This text was correct when committed, but became incorrect after I
reverted 525392d57 in May 2025. Sorry for not catching it sooner.

I think we should change the text in both master and REL_18_STABLE to
match what you added in the older branches.  I can change it back to
this when we get pruning-aware locking again.
