The attached patch is the revised version of ALTER RENAME TO
consolidation. According to the previous suggestion, it uses
a common logic to check object-naming duplication at
check_duplicate_objectname().

At the code path on AlterObjectNamespace_internal, it lost
ObjectType information to the supplied object, so I also added
get_object_type() function at objectaddress.c for inverse
translation from a couple of classId/objectId to OBJECT_* label.

Rest of parts are unchanged since the previous versions.

Thanks,
