Nathan Bossart 208927e656 Fix privilege checks for pg_prewarm() on indexes.
pg_prewarm() currently checks for SELECT privileges on the target
relation.  However, indexes do not have access rights of their own,
so a role may be denied permission to prewarm an index despite
having the SELECT privilege on its parent table.  This commit fixes
this by locking the parent table before the index (to avoid
deadlocks) and checking for SELECT on the parent table.  Note that
the code is largely borrowed from
amcheck_lock_relation_and_check().

An obvious downside of this change is the extra AccessShareLock on
the parent table during prewarming, but that isn't expected to
cause too much trouble in practice.
