we need to expand the virtual generated column here,
otherwise, bms_is_member would  be not correct.
consider case like:

CREATE TABLE pp (f1 INT, f2 INT generated always as (f1 +
tableoid::int)) PARTITION BY RANGE (f1);
CREATE TABLE pp_1 (f2 INT generated always as (f1 + tableoid::int), f1 int);
ALTER TABLE pp ATTACH PARTITION pp_1 FOR VALUES FROM (-1) TO (10);
CREATE TABLE pp_2 (f2 INT generated always as (f1 + tableoid::int), f1 int);
ALTER TABLE pp ATTACH PARTITION pp_2 FOR VALUES FROM (10) TO (20);
ALTER TABLE PP add check (f2 > 0);

ALTER TABLE pp MERGE PARTITIONS (pp_1, pp_2) INTO pp_12;

In this context, the merge partition command  needs to evaluate the constraint
"pp_f2_check" again on pp_12.

attach minor diff fix this problem.
