Fix relcache handling of the 'default' partition
My commit 4dba331cb3dc that moved around CommandCounterIncrement calls
in partitioning DDL code unearthed a problem with the relcache handling
for the 'default' partition: the construction of a correct relcache
entry for the partitioned table was at the mercy of lack of CCI calls in
non-trivial amounts of code.  This was prone to creating problems later
on, as the code develops.  This was visible as a test failure in a
compile with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELASE (buildfarm member prion).
The problem is that after the mentioned commit it was possible to create
a relcache entry that had incomplete information regarding the default
partition because I introduced a CCI between adding the catalog entries
for the default partition (StorePartitionBound) and the update of
pg_partitioned_table entry for its parent partitioned table
(update_default_partition_oid).  It seems the best fix is to move the
latter so that it occurs inside the former; the purposeful lack of
intervening CCI should be more obvious, and harder to break.
I also remove a check in RelationBuildPartitionDesc that returns NULL if
the key is not set.  I couldn't find any place that needs this hack
anymore; probably it was required because of bugs that have since been
fixed.
Fix a few typos I noticed while reviewing the code involved.
