-1 on this approach.  Having this ownercheck function return the owning
object ID seems way too strange.  I'd rather not have the new ownercheck
function, and instead do a syscache search to obtain the type OID in
check_object_ownership, then do pg_type_ownercheck.  I'm not even sure
that pg_domain_constraint_ownercheck makes a lot of sense in itself,
since it's never the constraint that requires an owner check.
