Previously, REPACK and CLUSTER silently skipped foreign-table partitions  
when processing a partitioned table, leaving users unaware that some  
partitions had not been processed. In contrast, VACUUM FULL warns when  
skipping such partitions.  
  
Emit a warning for each skipped foreign-table partition. Inspect the  
table's partition tree even when an index is specified, because foreign  
tables have no indexes and therefore do not appear in the index's  
partition tree. Check privileges before issuing the warning, so that  
users without the required privileges receive a permission warning  
instead, as with VACUUM FULL.  
  
Note that database-wide REPACK and CLUSTER continue to skip foreign  
tables silently, consistent with database-wide VACUUM FULL.

Avoid spurious failures in the login event trigger recovery test

Buildfarm member skink reported failures in  
053_standby_login_event_trigger.pl. The checks that dathasloginevt was  
cleared on the primary and that the cleared flag reached the standby  
both found the flag still set.  
  
The test assumed that the first login after dropping the trigger would  
clear the flag. However, EventTriggerOnLogin() acquires the database  
lock conditionally to avoid delaying connections for this cleanup.  
Concurrent connection startup, including that of an autovacuum worker,  
can hold a conflicting lock and cause the cleanup to be skipped. The  
standby correctly retained the flag because it had not been cleared  
on the primary.  
  
Fix this by using poll_query_until() to retry with fresh connections  
to the test database until the flag is cleared, giving the login cleanup  
repeated opportunities to acquire the lock.  
  
Backpatch to v17, like commit bec61f59354, which added this test.
