Possibly attached should be backpatched through v11 ?

This allows SET on the parent index, which is used for newly created child
indexes, but doesn't itself recurse to children.

I noticed recursive "*" doesn't seem to be allowed for "alter INDEX":
postgres=# ALTER INDEX p_i2* SET (fillfactor = 22);
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "*"
LINE 1: ALTER INDEX p_i2* SET (fillfactor = 22);

Also, I noticed this "doesn't fail", but setting is neither recursively applied
nor used for new partitions.

postgres=# ALTER INDEX p_i_idx ALTER COLUMN 1 SET STATISTICS 123;
