    Clarify SPLIT PARTITION bound requirements in docs
    
    The documentation said that the bounds of new partitions should not
    overlap and that their combined bounds should equal the bounds of the
    split partition.  That is misleading when a new DEFAULT partition is
    specified, because the explicit partitions may cover only part of the
    split partition while the DEFAULT partition covers the rest.
    
    Clarify that new non-DEFAULT partition bounds must not overlap with
    other new or existing partitions and must be contained within the bounds
    of the split partition.  Also state that the combined bounds must exactly
    match the split partition only when no new DEFAULT partition is specified.
    
    While here, improve nearby wording about hash-partitioned target tables
    and splitting a DEFAULT partition with the same partition name.
