Doc: mention executor memory usage for enable_partitionwise* GUCs Prior to this commit, the docs for enable_partitionwise_aggregate and enable_partitionwise_join mentioned the additional overheads enabling these causes for the query planner, but they mentioned nothing about the possible surge in work_mem-consuming executor nodes that could end up in the final plan. Dimitrios reported the OOM killer intervened on his query as a result of using enable_partitionwise_aggregate=on. Here we adjust the docs to mention the possible increase in the number of work_mem-consuming executor nodes that can appear in the final plan as a result of enabling these GUCs.
