I agree we can't back-patch that change, but then I think we ought to
consider back-patching some variant of Tatsuo's patch. Maybe it's not
reasonable to thunk an arbitrary number of relation names in there on
one line, but how about 1000 relations per LOCK statement or so? I
guess we'd need to see how much that erodes the benefit, but we've
certainly done back-branch rearrangements in pg_dump in the past to
fix various kinds of issues, and this is pretty non-invasive.
