Fix alias matching in transformLockingClause().

When locking a specific named relation for a FOR [KEY] UPDATE/SHARE
clause, transformLockingClause() finds the relation to lock by
scanning the rangetable for an RTE with a matching eref->aliasname.
However, it failed to account for the visibility rules of a join RTE.

If a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, it will have a
generated eref->aliasname of "unnamed_join" that is not visible as a
relation name in the parse namespace. Such an RTE needs to be skipped,
otherwise it might be found in preference to a regular base relation
with a user-supplied alias of "unnamed_join", preventing it from being
locked.

In addition, if a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, but
does have a join_using_alias, then the RTE needs to be matched using
that alias rather than the generated eref->aliasname, otherwise a
misleading "relation not found" error will be reported rather than a
"join cannot be locked" error.

Backpatch all the way, except for the second part which only goes back
to 14, where JOIN USING aliases were added.
