We previously implemented OTHER_WORKERS_WITH_METADATA tag. However,
that was wrong. See the related discussion:
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/2320
Instead, we switched using OTHER_WORKER_NODES and make the command
that we're running optional such that even if the node is not a
metadata node, we won't be in trouble.
This commit enables support for TRUNCATE on both
distributed table and reference tables.
The basic idea is to acquire lock on the relation by sending
the TRUNCATE command to all metedata worker nodes. We only
skip sending the TRUNCATE command to the node that actually
executus the command to prevent a self-distributed-deadlock.
