Add target_relid parameter to pg_get_publication_tables(). When a tablesync worker checks whether a specific table is published, it previously issued a query to the publisher calling pg_get_publication_tables() and filtering the result by relid via a WHERE clause. Because the function itself was fully evaluated before the filter was applied, this forced the publisher to enumerate all tables in the publication. For publications covering a large number of tables, this resulted in expensive catalog scans and unnecessary CPU overhead on the publisher. This commit adds a new overloaded form of pg_get_publication_tables() that accepts an array of publication names and a target table OID. Instead of enumerating all published tables, it evaluates membership for the specified relation via syscache lookups, using the new is_table_publishable_in_publication() helper. This helper correctly accounts for publish_via_partition_root, ALL TABLES with EXCEPT clauses, schema publications, and partition inheritance, while avoiding the overhead of building the complete published table list. The existing VARIADIC array form of pg_get_publication_tables() is preserved for backward compatibility. Tablesync workers use the new two-argument form when connected to a publisher running PostgreSQL 19 or later. Bump catalog version.
