Self-join elimination failed to check for inheritance cases, which has two big problems. First, a unique index on the parent table isn't sufficient to prove uniqueness across its children too. Second, since we matched RTEs by OID without considering rte->inh, we could try to merge "mytable" with "mytable ONLY", which doesn't even represent the same set of rows. We can fix both issues by just skipping RTEs that have inh set. preprocess_relation_rtes already cleared that flag for tables known not to have inheritance children, so this doesn't break SJE for the cases where it's valid.
