Few comments:
1) We could include namespace names along with the relation to make it
more clear to the user if the user had specified tables having same
table names from different schemas:
+                       /* Disallow duplicate tables if there are any
with row filters. */
+                       if (t->whereClause ||
list_member_oid(relids_with_rf, myrelid))
+                               ereport(ERROR,
+
(errcode(ERRCODE_DUPLICATE_OBJECT),
+                                                errmsg("conflicting
or redundant WHERE clauses for table \"%s\"",
+
RelationGetRelationName(rel))));

2) Few includes are not required, I could compile without it:
#include "executor/executor.h" in pgoutput.c,
#include "parser/parse_clause.h",
#include "parser/parse_relation.h" and #include "utils/ruleutils.h" in
relcache.c and
#include "parser/parse_node.h" in pg_publication.h

3) I felt the 0004-Row-Filter-refactor-transformations can be merged
to 0001 patch, since most of the changes are from 0001 patch or the
functions which are moved from pg_publication.c to publicationcmds.c
can be handled in 0001 patch.

4) Should this be posted as a separate patch in a new thread, as it is
not part of row filtering:
--- a/src/include/parser/parse_node.h
+++ b/src/include/parser/parse_node.h
@@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ typedef enum ParseExprKind
        EXPR_KIND_CALL_ARGUMENT,        /* procedure argument in CALL */
        EXPR_KIND_COPY_WHERE,           /* WHERE condition in COPY FROM */
        EXPR_KIND_GENERATED_COLUMN, /* generation expression for a column */

+       EXPR_KIND_CYCLE_MARK            /* cycle mark value */
 } ParseExprKind;

5) This log will be logged for each tuple, if there are millions of
records it will get logged millions of times, we could remove it:
+       /* update requires a new tuple */
+       Assert(newtuple);
+
+       elog(DEBUG3, "table \"%s.%s\" has row filter",
+
get_namespace_name(get_rel_namespace(RelationGetRelid(relation))),
+                get_rel_name(relation->rd_id));
