Change the relkind for partitioned tables from 'P' to 'p'.

Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case. Fix it while we still can.

Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.

This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.
