This and other places in the SPLIT/MERGE patches pass is_internal=true, which
ultimately flows to hooks with the following meaning:
/*
* If this flag is set, the user hasn't requested that the object be
* altered, but we're doing it anyway for some internal reason.
* Permissions-checking hooks may want to skip checks if, say, we're alter
* the constraints of a temporary heap during CLUSTER.
*/
bool is_internal;
SPLIT/MERGE constitute user requests to create and/or drop tables, so they're
not like a CLUSTER temporary heap. They should pass is_internal=false, like
when the user runs CREATE/DROP directly.
