Subject: Fix omission in partitioning limitation documentation
UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints can be created on ONLY the
partitioned table. We already had an example demonstrating that,
but forgot to mention it in the documentation of the limits of
partitioning.

Using ONLY to add or drop a constraint on only
the partitioned table is supported as long as there are no
partitions. Once partitions exist, using ONLY
- will result in an error. Instead, constraints on the partitions
+ will result in an error for any constraints other than
+ UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY.
+ Instead, constraints on the partitions
themselves can be added and (if they are not present in the parent
table) dropped.
