pgsql: Disallow converting a table to a view if row security is present

From

Disallow converting a table to a view if row security is present.

When DefineQueryRewrite() is about to convert a table to a view, it checks
the table for features unavailable to views.  For example, it rejects tables
having triggers.  It omits to reject tables having relrowsecurity or a
pg_policy record. Fix that. To faciliate the repair, invent
relation_has_policies() which indicates the presence of policies on a
relation even when row security is disabled for that relation.

Reported by Noah Misch. Patch by me, review by Stephen Frost. Back-patch
to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.

Branch
------
REL9_5_STABLE
