Fix "unexpected relkind" error when denying permissions on toast tables.
get_relkind_objtype, and hence get_object_type, failed when applied to a
toast table.  This is not a good thing, because it prevents reporting of
perfectly legitimate permissions errors.  (At present, these functions
are in fact *only* used to determine the ObjectType argument for
acl_error() calls.)  It seems best to have them fall back to returning
OBJECT_TABLE in every case where they can't determine an object type
for a pg_class entry, so do that.
In passing, make some edits to alter.c to make it more obvious that
those calls of get_object_type() are used only for error reporting.
This might save a few cycles in the non-error code path, too.
Back-patch to v11 where this issue originated.
