Rename field "relkind" to "objtype" for CTAS and ALTER TABLE nodes
"relkind" normally refers to the char field from pg_class. However, in the parse nodes AlterTableStmt and CreateTableAsStmt, "relkind" was used for a field of type enum ObjectType, that could refer to other object types than those possible for a relkind. Such fields being usually named "objtype", switch the name in both structures to make things more consistent. Note that this led to some confusion in functions that also operate on a RangeTableEntry object, which also has a field named "relkind". This naming goes back to commit 09d4e96d, where only OBJECT_TABLE and OBJECT_INDEX were used. This got extended later to use as well OBJECT_TYPE with e440e12c, not really a relation kind.
