#3866 removed the shard ID hash in metadata_cache.c to simplify cache management,
but we observed a significant performance regression that was being masked by the
performance improvement provided by #3654 in our benchmarks, but #3654 only
applies to specific workloads.
This PR brings back the shard ID cache as it existed before #3866 with some extra
measures to handle invalidation. When we load a table entry, we overwrite
ShardIdCacheEntry->tableEntry pointers for all the shards in that table, though
it's possible that the table no longer contains the old shard ID or the table
entry is never reloaded, which would leave a dangling pointer once the table
entry is freed. To handle that case, we remove all shard ID cache entries that
point exactly to that table entry when a table is freed (at the end of the
transaction or any call to CitusTableCacheFlushInvalidatedEntries).

This commit uses *_walker instead of *_mutator for performance reasons.
Given that we're only updating a functionId in the tree, the approach
seems fine.
This commit by default enables hiding shard names on MX workers
by simple replacing `pg_table_is_visible()` calls with
`citus_table_is_visible()` calls on the MX worker nodes. The latter
function filters out tables that are known to be shards.
The main motivation of this change is a better UX. The functionality
can be opted out via a GUC.
We also added two views, namely citus_shards_on_worker and
citus_shard_indexes_on_worker such that users can query
them to see the shards and their corresponding indexes.
We also added debug messages such that the filtered tables can
be interactively seen by setting the level to DEBUG1.
Add ability to understand whether a table is a
known shard on MX workers. Note that this is only useful
and applicable for hiding shards on MX worker nodes given
that we can have metadata only there.
