Bug#50036: Inconsistent errors when using TIMESTAMP columns/expressions

It was hard to understand what the error really meant.

The error checking in partitioning is done in several different
parts during the execution of a query which can make it
hard to return useful errors.

Added a new error for bad VALUES part in the per PARTITION clause.
Using the more verbose error that a column is not allowed in
the partitioning function instead of just that the function is
not allowed.
