Ok. Done. I introduced IS_JOIN_REL and IS_OTHER_REL only to simplify
the tests for child-joins. But now we have grown this patch with
IS_SIMPLE_REL() and IS_UPPER_REL(). That has introduced changes
unrelated to partition-wise join. But I am happy with the way the code
looks now with all IS_*_REL() macros. If we delay this commit, some
more usages of bare RELOPT_* would creep in the code. To avoid that,
we may want to commit these changes in v10.

Done. However, we need another assertion to make sure than an "other"
upper rel has an "other" rel as scanrel. That can be added when
partition-wise aggregate, which would introduce "other" upper rels, is
implemented.

Done. Also modified prologue of that function to explicitly say simple
"append relation" since we can have join "append relations" and upper
"append relations" with partition-wise operations.

Done.

Done.

Done.
