I've attached another delta against your v20 patch which does this.
It's very rough for now and I've only checked that it passes the
regression test so far.

It will need some cleanup work, but I'd be keen to know what you think
of the general idea. I've not fully worked out how run-time pruning
will use this as it'll need another version of
get_partitions_from_clauses but passes in a PartScanClauseInfo
instead, and does not call extract_partition_key_clauses. That area
probably  needs some shuffling around so that does not end up a big
copy and paste of all that new logic.
