Reject degenerate SPLIT PARTITION with DEFAULT partition

ALTER TABLE ... SPLIT PARTITION allows a DEFAULT partition to be created
as one of the replacement partitions when the parent table does not
already have one.  However, it should not allow the degenerate case where
a non-DEFAULT partition keeps exactly the same bound as the split
partition and the command merely adds a DEFAULT partition through the
SPLIT PARTITION path.

Detect that case by comparing the bound of the split partition with the
bound of the only non-DEFAULT replacement partition, and raise an error
when they are the same.  Users should add a DEFAULT partition directly
with CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF ... DEFAULT or ALTER TABLE ... ATTACH
PARTITION ... DEFAULT instead.
