Support CREATE / DROP database commands from any node (#7359)
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for issuing `CREATE`/`DROP` DATABASE commands
from worker nodes

With this commit, we allow issuing CREATE / DROP DATABASE commands from
worker nodes too.
As in #7278, this is not allowed when the coordinator is not added to
metadata because we don't ever sync metadata changes to coordinator
when adding coordinator to the metadata via
`SELECT citus_set_coordinator_host('<hostname>')`, or equivalently, via
`SELECT citus_add_node(<coordinator_node_name>, <coordinator_node_port>, 0)`.

We serialize database management commands by acquiring a Citus specific
advisory lock on the first primary worker node if there are any workers in the
cluster. As opposed to what we've done in https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/7278
for role management commands, we try to avoid from running into distributed deadlocks
as much as possible. This is because, while distributed deadlocks that can happen around
role management commands can be detected by Citus, this is not the case for database
management commands because most of them cannot be run inside in a transaction block.
In that case, Citus cannot even detect the distributed deadlock because the command is not
part of a distributed transaction at all, then the command execution might not return the
control back to the user for an indefinite amount of time.

Support role commands from any node (#7278)
DESCRIPTION: Adds support from issuing role management commands from worker nodes

It's unlikely to get into a distributed deadlock with role commands, we
don't care much about them at the moment.
There were several attempts to reduce the chances of a deadlock but we
didn't any of them merged into main branch yet, see:
#7325
#7016
#7009
