This command, when used to add a column on a parent table with a complex inheritance tree, tried to update multiple times the same tuple in pg_attribute for a child table when incrementing attinhcount, causing failures with "tuple already updated by self" because of a missing CommandCounterIncrement() between two updates. This exists for a rather long time, so backpatch all the way down.
