* Accept invalidation messages before accessing the metadata cache

This commit is crucial to prevent stale metadata reads from the
cache. Without this commit, some of the operations may use stale
metadata which could end up with various bugs such as crashes,
inconsistent/lost data etc.

As an example, consider that a COPY operation is blocked on shard
metadata lock. Another concurrent session updates the metadata and
invalidates the cache. However, since Citus doesn't accept invalidations,
COPY continues with the stale metadata once it acquires the lock.

With this commit, we make sure that invalidation messages are accepted
just before accessing the metadata cache and preventing any operation to
use stale metadata.

* Add isolation tests for placement changes and conccurrent operations
