A caller of TRUNCATE could previously queue for an access exclusive lock on a relation it may not have permission to truncate, potentially interfering with users authorized to work on it. This can be very intrusive depending on the lock attempted to be taken. For example, pg_authid could be blocked, preventing any authentication attempt to happen on a PostgreSQL instance. This commit fixes the case of TRUNCATE so as RangeVarGetRelidExtended is used with a callback doing the necessary ACL checks at an earlier stage, avoiding lock queuing issues, so as an immediate failure happens for unprivileged users instead of waiting on a lock that would not be taken. This is rather similar to the type of work done in cbe24a6 for CLUSTER, and the code of TRUNCATE is this time refactored so as there is no user-facing changes. As the commit for CLUSTER, no back-patch is done.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
