Add ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT ... SET [NO] INHERIT

This allows to redefine an existing non-inheritable constraint to be
inheritable, which allows to straighten up situations with NO INHERIT
constraints so that thay can become normal constraints without having to
re-verify existing data.  For existing inheritance children this may
require creating additional constraints, if they don't exist already.

It also allows to do the opposite, if only for symmetry.
