Revert "Accept relations of any kind in LOCK TABLE".

Revert 59ab4ac32, as well as the followup fix 33862cb9c, in all
branches.  We need to think a bit harder about what the behavior
of LOCK TABLE on views should be, and there's no time for that
before next week's releases.  We'll take another crack at this
later.
