In one of the many strange corner cases of multiple inheritance being used, commit b0e96f311985 missed a CommandCounterIncrement() call after updating the attnotnull flag during ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN, which caused a catalog tuple to be update attempted twice in the same command, giving rise to a "tuple already updated by self" error. Add the missing call to solve that, and a test case that reproduces the scenario. As a (perhaps surprising) secondary effect, this CCI addition triggers another behavior change: when a primary key is added to a parent partitioned table and the column in an existing partition does not have a not-null constraint, we no longer error out. This will probably be a welcome change by some users, and I think it's unlikely that anybody will miss the old behavior.
