Doc: mention executor memory usage for enable_partitionwise* GUCs

Prior to this commit, the docs for enable_partitionwise_aggregate and
enable_partitionwise_join mentioned the additional overheads enabling
these causes for the query planner, but they mentioned nothing about the
possible surge in work_mem-consuming executor nodes that could end up in
the final plan.  Dimitrios reported the OOM killer intervened on his
query as a result of using enable_partitionwise_aggregate=on.

Here we adjust the docs to mention the possible increase in the number of
work_mem-consuming executor nodes that can appear in the final plan as a
result of enabling these GUCs.
