As far as I can see from the example that started this thread,
postgres_fdw injects WRVs into a PWJ whether or not the query involves
FOR UPDATE; that's why this bug is reproducible in a query without FOR
UPDATE. But we shouldn't need any EPQ support in that case.

Color me a bit more skeptical about the bug density in that, given
that enable_partitionwise_join is off by default; that means you're
not getting a lot of testing.
