Improve error messages for incorrect types of logical replication targets

If trying to use something else than a plain table as logical
replication target, a rather-generic error message gets used to report
the problem.  This can be confusing when it comes to foreign tables and
partitioned tables, so use more dedicated messages in these cases.
