another bug.
I will dig later, just want to share it first.

minimum producer:
drop table if exists pp1,cc1, cc2,cc3;
create table pp1 (f1 int );
create table cc1 () inherits (pp1);
create table cc2() inherits(pp1,cc1);
create table cc3() inherits(pp1,cc1,cc2);

alter table pp1 alter f1 set not null;
ERROR:  tuple already updated by self

  2. Elide not-null constraint checks on child tables during PK creation

  3. Remove unnecessary code to handle CONSTR_NOTNULL

  4. Silence compilers about extractNotNullColumn()

  5. Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints
