The new <varname>constraint_exclusion</varname> configuration
parameter avoids lookups on child tables where constraints indicate
that no matching rows exist in the child table.

This allows for a basic type of table partitioning. If child tables
store separate key ranges and this is enforced using appropriate
<command>CHECK</> constraints, the optimizer will skip child
table accesses when the constraint guarantees no matching rows
exist in the child table.
