Fix failures in validateForeignKeyConstraint's slow path.

The foreign-key-checking loop in ATRewriteTables failed to ignore
relations without storage (e.g., partitioned tables), unlike the
initial loop. This accidentally worked as long as RI_Initial_Check
succeeded, which it does in most practical cases (including all the
ones exercised in the existing regression tests :-(). However, if
that failed, as for instance when there are permissions issues,
then we entered the slow fire-the-trigger-on-each-tuple path.
And that would try to read from the referencing relation, and fail
if it lacks storage.

A second problem, recently introduced in HEAD, was that this loop
had been broken by sloppy refactoring for the tableam API changes.

Repair both issues, and add a regression test case so we have some
coverage on this code path. Back-patch as needed to v11.

(It looks like this code could do with additional bulletproofing,
but let's get a working test case in place first.)
