Tom Lane a30531c5c8 Fix "unexpected relkind" error when denying permissions on toast tables.
get_relkind_objtype, and hence get_object_type, failed when applied to a
toast table.  This is not a good thing, because it prevents reporting of
perfectly legitimate permissions errors.  (At present, these functions
are in fact *only* used to determine the ObjectType argument for
acl_error() calls.)  It seems best to have them fall back to returning
OBJECT_TABLE in every case where they can't determine an object type
for a pg_class entry, so do that.

In passing, make some edits to alter.c to make it more obvious that
those calls of get_object_type() are used only for error reporting.
This might save a few cycles in the non-error code path, too.

Back-patch to v11 where this issue originated.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
