The V3/V5 patch was the rewritten one based on the Tom's comment, as is.
It counts the expected inhcount at the first find_all_inheritors() time
at once, and it compares the pg_attribute.attinhcount.
(In actually, find_all_inheritors() does not have a capability to count
the number of merged from a common origin, so I newly defined the
find_all_inheritors_with_inhcount().)

Am I missing something?
