Implement ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command
This new DDL command merges several partitions into the one partition of the
target table. The target partition is created using new
createPartitionTable() function with parent partition as the template.
This commit comprises quite naive implementation which works in single process
and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all the
operations including the tuple routing. This is why this new DDL command
can't be recommended for large partitioned tables under a high load. However,
this implementation come in handy in certain cases even as is.
Also, it could be used as a foundation for future implementations with lesser
locking and possibly parallel.
