Fix assorted syscache lookup sloppiness in partition-related code.

heap_drop_with_catalog and ATExecDetachPartition neglected to check for
SearchSysCache failures, as noted in bugs #14927 and #14928 from Pan Bian.
Such failures are pretty unlikely, since we should already have some sort
of lock on the rel at these points, but it's neither a good idea nor
per project style to omit a check for failure.

Also, StorePartitionKey contained a syscache lookup that it never did
anything with, including never releasing the result.  Presumably the
reason why we don't see refcount-leak complaints is that the lookup
always fails; but in any case it's pretty useless, so remove it.

All of these errors were evidently introduced by the relation
partitioning feature.  Back-patch to v10 where that came in.
