Fix ExecOpenScanRelation to take a lock on a ROW_MARK_COPY relation.
ExecOpenScanRelation assumed that any relation listed in the ExecRowMark
list has been locked by InitPlan; but this is not true if the rel's
markType is ROW_MARK_COPY, which is possible if it's a foreign table.
In most (possibly all) cases, failure to acquire a lock here isn't really
problematic because the parser, planner, or plancache would have taken the
appropriate lock already. In principle though it might leave us vulnerable
to working with a relation that we hold no lock on, and in any case if the
executor isn't depending on previously-taken locks otherwise then it should
not do so for ROW_MARK_COPY relations.
Noted by Etsuro Fujita. Back-patch to all active versions, since the
inconsistency has been there a long time. (It's almost certainly
irrelevant in 9.0, since that predates foreign tables, but the code's
still wrong on its own terms.)
