Put back AcceptInvalidationMessages calls in heap_openrv(_extended).
These calls were removed in commit 4240e429 as part of a general refactoring and improvement of DDL locking. However, there's a problem not solved by the rewrite, which is that GRANT/REVOKE update pg_class.relacl without taking any particular lock on the target table as such. If another backend fails to do AcceptInvalidationMessages, it won't notice a recently-committed change in ACLs. Bug #7557 from Piotr Czachur demonstrates that there's at least one code path in 9.2.0 in which a command fails to do any AcceptInvalidationMessages calls at all, if the current transaction already holds all the locks it will need. Since we're hard up against the release deadline for 9.2.1, fix this by putting back the AcceptInvalidationMessages calls in heap_openrv and heap_openrv_extended, thereby restoring the historical behavior in this area. We ought to look for a more elegant and perhaps more bulletproof solution, but there's no time for that right now.
