Subject: v12.0: interrupt reindex CONCURRENTLY: ccold: ERROR:  could not find
 tuple for parent of relation ...

On a badly-overloaded VM, we hit the previously-reported segfault in progress
reporting.  This left around some *ccold indices.  I tried to drop them but:

sentinel=# DROP INDEX child.alarms_null_alarm_id_idx1_ccold; -- child.alarms_null_alarm_time_idx_ccold; -- alarms_null_alarm_id_idx_ccold;
ERROR:  could not find tuple for parent of relation 41351896

Those are children of relkind=I index on relkind=p table.

postgres=# CREATE TABLE t(i int)PARTITION BY RANGE(i);
postgres=# CREATE TABLE t1 PARTITION OF t FOR VALUES FROM (1)TO(100);
postgres=# INSERT INTO t1 SELECT 1 FROM generate_series(1,99999);
postgres=# CREATE INDEX ON t(i);

postgres=# begin; SELECT * FROM t; -- DO THIS IN ANOTHER SESSION

postgres=# REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY t1_i_idx; -- cancel this one
^CCancel request sent
ERROR:  canceling statement due to user request

postgres=# \d t1
...
    "t1_i_idx" btree (i)
    "t1_i_idx_ccold" btree (i) INVALID

postgres=# SELECT inhrelid::regclass FROM pg_inherits WHERE inhparent='t_i_idx'::regclass;
inhrelid
t1_i_idx
(1 row)

Not only can't I DROP the _ccold indexes, but also dropping the table doesn't
cause them to be dropped, and then I can't even slash dee them anymore:

jtp=# DROP INDEX t1_i_idx_ccold;
ERROR:  could not find tuple for parent of relation 290818869

jtp=# DROP TABLE t; -- does not fail, but ..

jtp=# \d t1_i_idx_ccold
ERROR:  cache lookup failed for relation 290818865

jtp=# SELECT indrelid::regclass, * FROM pg_index WHERE indexrelid='t1_i_idx_ccold'::regclass;
indrelid       | 290818865
indexrelid     | 290818869
indrelid       | 290818865
[...]
