find_all_inheritors() returns a clean list which does not contain
duplicated OID of the inherited relation, so it seems to me we need
to change the function prototype but it affects other parts, or to add
a new function which also returns number of duplications, not only OIDs.
Or, we can call find_inheritance_children() in renameatt() as if
find_all_inheritors() doing except for list_concat_unique_oid().
What is the most preferable?
I don't have any preference in the way to fix the problem.
