Improve DROP SERVER handling of dependent subscriptions.

We do not allow a DROP SERVER ... CASCADE to implicitly drop a
subscription, because it's in a shared catalog and dropping a
subscription has side effects. Instead we throw an error and the user
must drop the subscription explicitly. Document this behavior and add
a HINT to the error message.

Generalize AcquireDeletionLock()/ReleaseDeletionLock() to use shared
object locks for all shared catalogs, which includes AuthMemRelationId
and now SubscriptionRelationId.

Move error message after AcquireDeletionLock() to avoid an unnecessary
error if there's a concurrent DROP SUBSCRIPTION.

Addresses finding 10 & 15 in report from linked discussion.
