Ensure we have a snapshot when updating various system catalogs.

A few places that access system catalogs don't set up an active
snapshot before potentially accessing their TOAST tables.  To fix,
push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might
require accessing one of these TOAST tables, and pop it shortly
afterwards.  While at it, this commit adds some rather strict
assertions in an attempt to prevent such issues in the future.

Commit 16bf24e0e4 recently removed pg_replication_origin's TOAST
table in order to fix the same problem for that catalog.  On the
back-branches, those bugs are left in place.  We cannot easily
remove a catalog's TOAST table on released major versions, and only
replication origins with extremely long names are affected.  Given
the low severity of the issue, fixing older versions doesn't seem
worth the trouble of significantly modifying the patch.

Also, on v13 and v14, the aforementioned strict assertions have
been omitted because commit 2776922201, which added
HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot(), was not back-patched.  While we
could probably back-patch it now, I've opted against it because it
seems unlikely that new TOAST snapshot issues will be introduced in
the oldest supported versions.
