rearrangement of code that handles targetlist sorting.  Add a regression

a partial fix for locking issues: concurrent DROP COLUMN should not
create trouble anymore.  But concurrent DROP TABLE is still a risk, and
there is no protection at all against creating a column of a domain while
we are altering the domain.
