Playing devil's advocate a bit more...  Another alternative here would
be to remove the fast path using relhassubclass from
find_inheritance_children and instead have its callers check for it :)

Anyway, it seems that you are right here.  Just setting relhassubclass
for partitioned indexes feels more natural with what's on HEAD now.
Even if I'd like to see all those hypothetical columns in pg_class go
away, that cannot happen without a close lookup at the performance
impact.
