Introduce sequence_*() access functions
Similarly to tables and indexes, these functions are able to open
relations with a sequence relkind, which is useful to make a distinction
with the other relation kinds. Previously, commands/sequence.c used a
mix of table_{close,open}() and relation_{close,open}() routines when
manipulating sequence relations, so this clarifies the code.
A direct effect of this change is to align the error messages produced
when attempting DDLs for sequences on relations with an unexpected
relkind, like a table or an index with ALTER SEQUENCE, providing an
extra error detail about the relkind of the relation used in the DDL
query.
