Ensure `#reset_column_information` clears child classes as well

I've added a redundant test for this under the attributes API as well,
as that also causes this bug to manifest through public API (and
demonstrates that calling `reset_column_information` on the child
classes would be insufficient)

Since children of a class should always share a table with their parent,
just reloading the schema from the cache should be sufficient here.
`reload_schema_from_cache` should probably become public and
`# :nodoc:`, but I'd rather avoid the git churn here.

Fixes #22057
