My patch is now committed.  The issue that started this thread now 
behaves like this:

ALTER TABLE ft1 ATTACH PARTITION ...;
ERROR:  ALTER action ATTACH PARTITION cannot be performed on relation "ft1"
DETAIL:  This operation is not supported for foreign tables.

So, for PG15, this is taken care of.

Backpatches under the old style for missing combinations would still be 
in scope, but there my comment on the proposed patches is that I would 
rather not remove apparently unused combinations from back branches.
