Before starting to scan a columnar table, we always flush the pending
writes to disk.
However, we increment command counter after modifying metadata tables.
On the other hand, now that we _don't always use_ xact snapshot to scan
a columnar table, writes that we just flushed might not be visible to
the query that just flushed pending writes to disk since curcid of
provided snapshot would become smaller than the command id being used
when modifying metadata tables.
To give an example, before this change, below was a possible scenario
due to the changes that we made to use the correct snapshot.
```sql
CREATE TABLE t(a int, b int) USING columnar;
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO t VALUES (5, 10);
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬───┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼───┤
└───┴───┘
(0 rows)
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬────┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼────┤
│ 5 │ 10 │
└───┴────┘
(1 row)
```
DESCRIPTION: Add support for ALTER DATABASE OWNER
This adds support for changing the database owner. It achieves this by marking the database as a distributed object. By marking the database as a distributed object it will look for its dependencies and order the user creation commands (enterprise only) before the alter of the database owner. This is mostly important when adding new nodes.
By having the database marked as a distributed object it can easily understand for which `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` commands to propagate by resolving the object address of the database and verifying it is a distributed object, and hence should propagate changes of owner ship to all workers.
Given the ownership of the database might have implications on subsequent commands in transactions we force sequential mode for transactions that have a `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` command in them. This will fail the transaction with meaningful help when the transaction already executed parallel statements.
By default the feature is turned off since roles are not automatically propagated, having it turned on would cause hard to understand errors for the user. It can be turned on by the user via setting the `citus.enable_alter_database_owner`.
