Analyze partitioned tables with lock retries

Marius Bobin requested to merge mb-fix-analyze-partitioned-tables into master

What does this MR do and why?

We need to manually analyze partitioned tables on a schedule to populate their statistics, but for busy tables the lock needed for analyze could take a while to be obtained and it causes long running transactions, like the previous incidents gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#18073 (closed)

In this case it was impossible to get the lock on p_ci_job_artifacts and the query was killed after an hour by the statement timeout config.
