This commit fixes a bug where a concurrent DROP TABLE deadlocks
with SELECT (or DML) when the SELECT is executed from the workers.
The problem was that Citus used to remove the metadata before
droping the table on the workers. That creates a time window
where the SELECT starts running on some of the nodes and DROP
table on some of the other nodes.
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.
This table will be used by Citus Enterprise to populate authentication-
related fields in outbound connections; Citus Community lacks support
for this functionality.
