Fix yet another issue with step generation in partition pruning.

Etsuro Fujita · Etsuro Fujita · commit 4f2693229605 · 2020-08-07T14:45:02.000+09:00
Commit 1383874 fixed some issues with step generation in partition pruning, but there was yet another one: get_steps_using_prefix() assumes that clauses in the passed-in prefix list are sorted in ascending order of their partition key numbers, but the caller failed to ensure this for range partitioning, which led to an assertion failure in debug builds. Adjust the caller function to arrange the clauses in the prefix list in the required order for range partitioning. Back-patch to v11, like the previous commit. Patch by me, reviewed by Amit Langote.
