Prevent setting NO INHERIT on partitioned NOT NULL constraints

The documentation states that NOT NULL constraints on partitioned tables
are always inherited by all partitions, and therefore cannot be declared
NO INHERIT. While a check already existed to reject creating such
constraints with NO INHERIT, previously the same check was missing for
ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT ... NO INHERIT.

This commit adds the missing check so that attempting to set NO INHERIT
on a partitioned NOT NULL constraint now fails.

Backpatch to v18, where ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT ... [NO] INHERIT
was added.
