psql: Make \d+ inheritance tables list formatting consistent with other objects

This followw up on the previous change (commit 7bff9f106a5) for partitions by
applying the same formatting to inheritance tables lists.

Previously, \d+ <table> displayed inheritance tables differently from other
object lists: the first inheritance table appeared on the same line as the
"Inherits" header. For example:

    Inherits: test_like_5,
              test_like_5x

This commit updates the output so that inheritance tables are listed
consistently with other objects, with each entry on its own line starting
below the header:

    Inherits:
        test_like_5
        test_like_5x
