EvalPlanQualStart() failed to propagate es_partition_directory into
the child EState used for EPQ rechecks. When execution time partition
pruning ran during the EPQ scan, executor code dereferenced a NULL
partition directory and crashed.
Previously, propagating es_partition_directory into the EPQ EState was
unnecessary because CreatePartitionPruneState(), which sets it on
demand, also initialized the exec-pruning context. After commit
d47cbf474, CreatePartitionPruneState() now initializes only the init-
time pruning context, leaving exec-pruning context initialization to
ExecInitNode(). Since EvalPlanQualStart() runs only ExecInitNode() and
not CreatePartitionPruneState(), it can encounter a NULL
es_partition_directory. Other executor fields initialized during
CreatePartitionPruneState() are already copied into the child EState
thanks to commit
8741e48e5d, but es_partition_directory was missed.
Fix by borrowing the parent estate's es_partition_directory in
EvalPlanQualStart(), and by clearing that field in EvalPlanQualEnd()
so the parent remains responsible for freeing the directory.
Add an isolation test permutation that triggers EPQ with execution-
time partition pruning, the case that reproduces this crash.
