Minor corrections for partition pruning

When the partition pruning code finds an OpExpr with an operator that
does not belong to the partition key's opfamily, the code checks to see
if the negator of the operator is the opfamily's BTEqualStrategyNumber
operator so that partition pruning can support that operator and invert
the matching partitions.  Doing this only works for LIST partitioned
tables.

Here we fix a minor correctness issue where when we discover we're not
pruning for a LIST partitioned table, we return PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH.
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH is only meant to be used when the clause may match
another partitioned key column.  For this case, the clause is not going
to be any more useful to another partitioned key as the partition strategy
is not going to change from one key to the next.

Noticed while working 4c2369ac5.  No backpatch because returning
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH instead of PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED mostly just causes
wasted effort checking subsequent partition keys against a clause that
will never be used for pruning.

In passing, correct a comment for get_matching_range_bounds() which
mentions that an 'opstrategy' of 0 is supported.  It's not, so fix the
comment.  This was pointed out by Alexander Lakhin.
