match_clauses_to_partkey() needs to allow for the way quals on Bool
columns are represented.

create table pt (a bool not null) partition by list (a);
create table pt_true partition of pt for values in('t');
create table pt_false partition of pt for values in('f');
explain select * from pt where a = true;
                            QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Append  (cost=0.00..76.20 rows=2810 width=1)
   ->  Seq Scan on pt_false  (cost=0.00..38.10 rows=1405 width=1)
         Filter: a
   ->  Seq Scan on pt_true  (cost=0.00..38.10 rows=1405 width=1)
         Filter: a
(5 rows)

match_clause_to_indexcol() shows an example of how to handle this.

explain select * from pt where a = false;

will need to be allowed too. This works slightly differently.
