Don't add a redundant constraint when detaching a partition

On ALTER TABLE .. DETACH CONCURRENTLY, we add a new table constraint
that duplicates the partition constraint.  But if the partition already
has another constraint that implies that one, then that's unnecessary.
We were already avoiding the addition of a duplicate constraint if there
was an exact 'equal' match -- this just improves the quality of the check.
