Lock all relations referred to in updatable views

sfrost · sfrost · commit 9801bae217e9 · 2015-09-08T17:02:53.000-04:00
Even views considered "simple" enough to be automatically updatable may
have mulitple relations involved (eg: in a where clause).  We need to
make sure and lock those relations when rewriting the query.

Back-patch to 9.3 where updatable views were added.

Pointed out by Andres, patch thanks to Dean Rasheed.
