This appears to be fixing something that likely should have been done
in PG11, where partitioned indexes were added. Originally the column
was for inheritance parent tables, then later used for partitioned
tables. It seems partitioned indexes just overlooked setting it to
true in PG11 and this commit fixed that. Of course, backpacking that
fix wouldn't be very useful for partitioned indexes that were already
created, so it was a master only change.
