pg_prewarm() currently checks for SELECT privileges on the target
relation. However, indexes do not have access rights of their own,
so a role may be denied permission to prewarm an index despite
having the SELECT privilege on its parent table. This commit fixes
this by locking the parent table before the index (to avoid
deadlocks) and checking for SELECT on the parent table. Note that
the code is largely borrowed from
amcheck_lock_relation_and_check().
An obvious downside of this change is the extra AccessShareLock on
the parent table during prewarming, but that isn't expected to
cause too much trouble in practice.

Backpatch-through: 13
Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.
This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical. We've updated to
pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that
have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are
now indented one tab stop). We've also updated to perltidy version
20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to
add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up. Going
forward, that should make for fewer random-seeming changes to existing
code.
