The name "targetrel" implies it is a Relation. (and historically, this
arg once was "Relation *targetrel").
Then when the PublicationRelInfo struct was introduced the arg name
was not changed and it became "PublicationRelInfo *targetrel". But at
that time PublicationRelInfo was just a simple wrapper for a Relation
so that was probably ok.
But now this Row-Filter patch has added more new members to
PublicationRelInfo, so IMO the name change is helpful otherwise it
seems misleading to continue calling it like it was still just a
Relation.
