Due to many internal API changes of PosgreSQL planner, corresponding
Postgres-XC planner needed many changes too.

This effort inlcudes the following by Abbas But:

1) Fix false report of partition column updation.
2) Fix for alias problem in returning list of INSERT statements.
3) Fix a problem in RETURNING support when all the items of the list
are not shippable.
4) Change the way UPDATEs are handeled, by updating all the columns of
the result relation instead of updating only the columns that were in
the target list.
5) Fix for all problems emerging because the query deparsing system
now generates unique rtable names by appending digits Initdb message
improvement was done by Masataka Saito.

from PGXC'ers.
