Before that PR we were updating citus.pg_dist_object metadata, which keeps
the metadata related to objects on Citus, only on the coordinator node. In
order to allow using those object from worker nodes (or erroring out with
proper error message) we've started to propagate that metedata to worker
nodes as well.
With PG13 heap_* (heap_open, heap_close etc) are replaced with table_*
(table_open, table_close etc).
It is better to use the new table access methods in the codebase and
define the macros for the previous versions as we can easily remove the
macro without having to change the codebase when we drop the support for
the old version.

Some GUCs support a list of values which is indicated by GUC_LIST_INPUT flag.
When an ALTER ROLE .. SET statement is executed, the new configuration
default for affected users and databases are stored in the
setconfig(text[]) column in a pg_db_role_setting record.
If a GUC that supports a list of values is used in an ALTER ROLE .. SET
statement, we need to split the text into items delimited by commas.
Rename TargetWorkerSet enums to make them more explicit about what they
mean. Ideally it would be good to treat everything as a node without the
'worker' concept because it makes things complicated. Another
improvement could be to rename TargetWorkerSet as TargetNodeSet but it
goes to renaming many occurrences of Worker, which is probably too big
for this PR.
DESCRIPTION: Alter role only works for citus managed roles
Alter role was implemented before we implemented good role management that hooks into the object propagation framework. This is a refactor of all alter role commands that have been implemented to
- be on by default
- only work for supported roles
- make the citus extension owner a supported role
Instead of distributing the alter role commands for roles at the beginning of the node activation role it now _only_ executes the alter role commands for all users in all databases and in the current database.
In preparation of full role support small refactors have been done in the deparser.
Earlier tests targeting other roles than the citus extension owner have been either slightly changed or removed to be put back where we have full role support.
Fixes#2549
In PostgreSQL, user defaults for config parameters can be changed by
ALTER ROLE .. SET statements. We wish to propagate those defaults
accross the Citus cluster so that the behaviour will be similar in
different workers.
The defaults can either be set in a specific database, or the whole
cluster, similarly they can be set for a single role or all roles.
We propagate the ALTER ROLE .. SET if all the conditions below are met:
- The query affects the current database, or all databases
- The user is already created in worker nodes
