Create a distinction between a populated matview and a scannable one.

The intent was that being populated would, long term, be just one
of the conditions which could affect whether a matview was
scannable; being populated should be necessary but not always
sufficient to scan the relation.  Since only CREATE and REFRESH
currently determine the scannability, names and comments
accidentally conflated these concepts, leading to confusion.

Also add missing locking for the SQL function which allows a
test for scannability, and fix a modularity violatiion.

Per complaints from Tom Lane, although its not clear that these
will satisfy his concerns.  Hopefully this will at least better
frame the discussion.
