Description
The current output of SHOW PARITIONS use the `x TO y` format for the partition value, which can be confusing for the open/close bound the start and the end value.
```
root@localhost:26257/mq> show partitions from table mq;
-[ RECORD 1 ]
index_name | mq@pk_mq
partition_value | (0) TO (86) -- is 86 included or excluded in the partiition 1?
...
```
Can be better understood if we write it into `[0, 86)`, for instance.
Jira issue: CRDB-66412
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the SHOW PARTITIONS entry point and reading its existing SQL tests for partition output. Confirm the range-bound conventions used there, then change the displayed range to bracket notation and run the relevant tests to verify that inclusivity is unambiguous.
