This has been mentioned on the thread where pg_partition_tree has been
discussed:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/6baeb45a-6222-6b88-342d-37fc7d3cf89a%40lab.ntt.co.jp

It got shaved from the final patch for simplicity as we had enough
issues to deal with first.  Adding a pg_partition_root or a new column
in pg_partition_tree makes sense.  My guts are telling me that a
separate function is more instinctive to use.
