The ExecCheckRTPerms() with ACL_INSERT permission will be called
before inserting the data to the table that's created with CREATE AS
WITH NO DATA. The insertion into the table can happen either with
INSERT command(ExecCheckRTPerms() with ACL_INSERT permission will be
called from InitPlan()) or with COPY FROM command(ExecCheckRTPerms()
with ACL_INSERT permission will be called from DoCopy()).
Effectively, we are not bypassing the call to
ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type. Unless I miss anything else, I think it
makes sense to skip ExecCheckRTPerms() for CTAS WITH NO DATA.
