Thanks, committed after adding a test with ALTER TABLE ONLY, and
checking upgrades as well as ATTACH partition for ALTER INDEX and ALTER
TABLE. In all cases the same code paths are taken.

Calling SetRelationHasSubclass() updates pg_class for this parent
relation. We would need CommandCounterIncrement() if the tuple gets
updated, but that's not the case as far as I checked for all code paths
where this gets called. This would be seen immediately by the way..
