We do not allow a DROP SERVER ... CASCADE to implicitly drop a subscription, because it's in a shared catalog and dropping a subscription has side effects. Instead we throw an error and the user must drop the subscription explicitly. Document this behavior and add a HINT to the error message. Generalize AcquireDeletionLock()/ReleaseDeletionLock() to use shared object locks for all shared catalogs, which includes AuthMemRelationId and now SubscriptionRelationId. Move error message after AcquireDeletionLock() to avoid an unnecessary error if there's a concurrent DROP SUBSCRIPTION. Addresses finding 10 & 15 in report from linked discussion.
