Add failure handling for CREATE DATABASE commands (#7483)
In preprocess phase, we save the original database name, replace
dbname field of CreatedbStmt with a temporary name (to let Postgres
to create the database with the temporary name locally) and then
we insert a cleanup record for the temporary database name on all
nodes **(\*\*)**.

And in postprocess phase, we first rename the temporary database
back to its original name for local node and then return a list of
distributed DDL jobs i) to create the database with the temporary
name and then ii) to rename it back to its original name on other
nodes. That way, if CREATE DATABASE fails on any of the nodes, the
temporary database will be cleaned up by the cleanup records that
we inserted in preprocess phase and in case of a failure, we won't
leak any databases called as the name that user intended to use for
the database.

Solves the problem documented in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/7369
for CREATE DATABASE commands.

**(\*\*):** To ensure that we insert cleanup records on all nodes,
with this PR we also start requiring having the coordinator in the
metadata because otherwise we would skip inserting a cleanup record
for the coordinator.
