Fixes#379
Varchar VAR struct is wrapped in RELABELTYPE struct inside PostgreSQL code and
IsPartitionColumnRecursive function considers only VAR types so returning false
for varchar.
This change adds strip_implicit_coercions() call to the columnExpression in
IsPartitionColumnRecursive function so that we get rid of implicit coercions like
RELABELTYPE are stripped to VAR.
Fixes#375
Prior to this change, shard pruning couldn't be done if:
- Table is hash-distributed
- Partition column of is VARCHAR
- Query to be pruned is a subquery
There were two problems:
- A bug in left-side/right-side checks for the partition column
- We were not considering relabeled types (VARCHAR was relabeled as TEXT)
