Tom Lane 7ed8ce8a46 Reject modifying a temp table of another session with ALTER TABLE.
Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since
permissions checks prevent naming such a table.  However, it is
possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child
is another session's temp table.

We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying
the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other
session's temporary-buffer pool.  But there seems no good reason
to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents.
One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the
implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER
requires touching the table contents.  Another is that there may
be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that
a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions.

Hence, add a RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check to all the places
where ALTER TABLE currently does CheckTableNotInUse().  (I looked
through all other callers of CheckTableNotInUse(), and they seem
OK already.)

Per bug #18492 from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to all supported
branches.
