I think the existing CheckCmdReplicaIdentity is intended to run at the
publisher side. Although the CheckCmdReplicaIdentity is invoked in
ExecSimpleRelationInsert which is at subscriber side, but I think that's
because the subscriber side could be a publisher as well which need to check
the RI.

So, the new error message in the patch is consistent with the existing error
message. (all for publisher sider)
