Fix partition pruning with IS [NOT] NULL clauses

The original code was unable to prune partitions that could not possibly
contain NULL values, when the query specified less than all columns in a
multicolumn partition key.  Reorder the if-tests so that it is, and add
more commentary and regression tests.
