Fix REASSIGN OWNED for subscriptions in other databases.

Subscription objects are conceptually database-local objects, but
pg_subscription is a shared catalog so that the launcher process can
scan it.

Check readers of pg_subscription to ensure that, unless it's the
launcher process, it filters by MyDatabaseId. Most readers were
already doing so, but this commit fixes REASSIGN OWNED and adds guards
to catch other problems in the future. Also, clarify documentation.
