Fix per-session activation of ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} SET role.
After commit 5a2fed911a85ed6d8a015a6bafe3a0d9a69334ae, the catalog state
resulting from these commands ceased to affect sessions. Restore the
longstanding behavior, which is like beginning the session with a SET
ROLE command. If cherry-picking the CVE-2024-10978 fixes, default to
including this, too. (This fixes an unintended side effect of fixing
CVE-2024-10978.) Back-patch to v12, like that commit. The release team
decided to include v12, despite the original intent to halt v12 commits
earlier this week.
