Ok, so the deal is to finally reduce the locks to
ShareRowExclusiveLock for the following commands :
- CREATE TRIGGER
- ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE
- ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT

Looking at the latest patch, it seems that in
AlterTableGetLockLevel(at)tablecmds(dot)c we ought to put AT_ReAddConstraint,
AT_AddConstraintRecurse and AT_ProcessedConstraint under the same
banner as AT_AddConstraint. Thoughts?
