Fix expression list handling in ATExecAttachPartition()

This commit addresses two issues related to the manipulation of the
partition constraint expression list in ATExecAttachPartition().

First, the current use of list_concat() to combine the partition's
constraint (retrieved via get_qual_from_partbound()) with the parent
table’s partition constraint can lead to memory safety issues. After
calling list_concat(), the original constraint (partBoundConstraint)
might no longer be safe to access, as list_concat() may free or modify
it.

Second, there's a logical error in constructing the constraint for
validating against the default partition. The current approach
incorrectly includes a negated version of the parent table's partition
constraint, which is redundant, as it always evaluates to false for
rows in the default partition.

To resolve these issues, list_concat() is replaced with
list_concat_copy(), ensuring that partBoundConstraint remains unchanged
and can be safely reused when constructing the validation constraint
for the default partition.

This fix is not applied to back-branches, as there is no live bug and
the issue has not caused any reported problems in practice.

Nitin Jadhav posted a patch to address the memory safety issue, but I
decided to follow Alvaro Herrera's suggestion from the initial
discussion, as it allows us to fix both the memory safety and logical
issues.

I don't think we're good about using unicode apostrophes.  Could you,
please, switch to ascii?
