Thread: make VALIDATE domain constraint lock on related relations as ShareUpdateExclusiveLock

hi.

We can still perform DML operations on a table while validating its
check constraint.
Similarly, it should be fine to do DML while validating domain constraints?
but currently, it's not allowed for domain constraints.

The attached patch addresses this problem.
so, with the patch, the following is allowed:

create domain d1 as int;
create table t(a d1);
alter domain d1 add constraint cc10 check(value > 10) not valid;

begin;
alter domain d1 validate constraint cc10;

--another session
INSERT INTO T SELECT 8;

This makes sense, and the patch also looks good to me.
