Create time-space partitions in separate schema

Andreas Brandl requested to merge ab/partition-management into master

What does this MR do?

With this change, we create partitions in the newly created partitions_dynamic schema. This is to keep them separate from the public schema to avoid clutter but one step further, we'll be ignoring objects in partitions_dynamic from db/structure.sql and implement automatic partition management as outlined in #220321 (comment 355551291).

We call this "dynamic partitions" because their lifecycle is being managed from the application in a dynamic fashion. This is applicable to time-space partitioning but perhaps also in general for range-based partitioning (think ids).

This is in contrast to "static partitions" which are going to be present in the application schema in structure.sql and only managed through migrations. For example, this will be the case for HASH based partitioning because all partitions are created once and we don't have to dynamically create partitions later.

Issue: #220321 (closed)
