Avoid bogus scans of partitions when validating FKs to partitioned tables

Validating an unvalidated foreign key that references a partitioned
table would try to queue validations for each individual partition of
the referenced table, but this is wrong: each individual partition would
not necessarily have all the referenced rows, so errors would be raised.
Avoid doing that.  The pg_constraint rows that cause this to happen are
only there to support the action triggers that implement the DELETE/
UPDATE actions of the FK, so no validating scan is necessary.

This was an oversight in commit b663b9436e75.

An equivalent oversight exists for NOT ENFORCED constraints, which is
not fixed in this commit.

Avoid bogus scans of partitions when marking FKs enforced

Similar to commit cc733ed164c5: when an unenforced foreign key that
references a partitioned table is altered to be enforced, we scan
the constrained table based on each partition on the referenced
partitioned table.  This is bogus and likely to cause the ALTER TABLE to
fail: we must only scan the constrained table as pointing to the
top-level partitioned table.  Oversight in commit eec0040c4bcd.  Fix by
eliding those scans.
