This relates to the bug in pg_dump which messes up inherited constraints.

The object is to find which is the table in an inheritance hierarchy for
which the check constraint is first defined, which must inevitably be the
one with the lowest numbered oid.  The GROUP BY operates with the aggregate
to return the low-numbered oid for each separate rcname.
