Make DDL operations play nicely with Serializable Snapshot Isolation.
Truncating or dropping a table is treated like deletion of all tuples, and check for conflicts accordingly. If a table is clustered or rewritten by ALTER TABLE, all predicate locks on the heap are promoted to relation-level locks, because the tuple or page ids of any existing tuples will change and won't be valid after rewriting the table. Arguably ALTER TABLE should be treated like a mass-UPDATE of every row, but if you e.g change the datatype of a column, you could also argue that it's just a change to the physical layout, not a logical change. Reindexing promotes all locks on the index to relation-level lock on the heap. Kevin Grittner, with a lot of cosmetic changes by me.
