So what I did here is that I added a new step to query_planner() itself
that adds the PlannerInfos for inheritance child target relations and
hence moved the function adjust_inherit_target_child() to planmain.c and
renamed it to add_inherit_target_child_root(). I've removed its
RelOptInfo argument and decided to modify the child RelOptInfo's
targetlist in allpaths.c. So, add_inherit_target_child_root() only builds
the child PlannerInfo now. Child PlannerInfo's are now stored in an array
of simple_rel_array_size elements, instead of a list. It's filled with
NULLs except for the slots corresponding to child target relations.

In allpaths.c, I've added set_inherit_target_rel_sizes and
set_inherit_target_rel_pathlists, which look like set_append_rel_size and
set_append_rel_pathlist, respectively. The reason to add separate
functions for the target relation case is that we don't want to combine
the outputs of children to form an "append relation" in that case. So,
this patch no longer modifies set_append_rel_size for handling the case
where the parent relation is query's target relation.

Here's the v10 of the patch. I didn't get chance to do more changes than
those described above and address Imai-san's review comments yesterday.

Have a wonderful new year! I'll be back on January 7 to reply on this thread.

Thanks,
