Re: clean up docs for v12

Hello,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this or it's already been
covered (I did scan though this whole thread and a couple others), but
I noticed the docs at
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/ddl-partitioning.html still say
you can't create a foreign key referencing a partitioned table, even
though the docs for
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-createtable.html have been
updated (compared to v11). My understanding is that foreign keys
*still* don't work as expected when pointing at traditional INHERITS
tables, but they *will* work with declaratively-partitioned tables. In
that case I suggest this change:

diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/ddl.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/ddl.sgml

(I've also attached it as a patch file.) In other words, we should
move this caveat from the section on declaratively-partitioned tables
to the section on inheritance-partitioned tables.

Sorry again if this is the wrong conversation for this!
