Tom Lane 8f90381a20 Doc: mention CREATE+ATTACH PARTITION with CREATE TABLE...PARTITION OF.
Clarify that ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION can be used to perform partition
maintenance with less locking than straight CREATE TABLE/DROP TABLE.
This was already stated in some places, but not emphasized.

Back-patch to v14 where DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLY was added.
(We had lower lock levels for ATTACH PARTITION before that, but
this wording wouldn't apply.)

a little further wordsmithing by me
