pg_partman uses PL/pgSQL functions but did not declare it as a required extension. Adding `requires = 'plpgsql'` ensures CREATE EXTENSION works even if plpgsql was dropped. Signed-off-by: belo4ya <41exey.kov41ev@gmail.com>

Problem
While trying to install
pg_partmanwithCREATE EXTENSION pg_partman CASCADEin a database where theplpgsqlextension had been dropped, I encountered the following error:PostgreSQL documentation states that PL/pgSQL is installed by default in every database. However, users can still remove it via
DROP EXTENSION plpgsql. In that case, installingpg_partmanfails because the dependency is not declared.It is also worth noting that other extensions commonly declare plpgsql in their requires field (see examples on GitHub).
Fix
This PR adds
to
pg_partman.control, ensuring thatplpgsqlis automatically installed when creatingpg_partman.
