It's debug4 or impossible stuff that lock.c already warned about - I
doubt anybody has ever actually looked at it in a long while, if
ever. If we really want to provide something more we can use something
like LOCK_PRINT() - but I really doubt it's worth neither the
notational, nor the verbosity overhead.

But there's now callers acquiring other locks than relation locks, like
dbase_redo() acquiring a object lock. And we need to acquire those via
the standby mechanism to avoid races around release. We could add a
separate wrapper for relation locks, but imo the locktag move to the
callers saved about as many lines in some places as it cost in others.

I don't think so, there's no incompatible change.
Thanks for having a look!
