Tom Lane 7dc18c619d Don't throw an error for LOCK TABLE on a self-referential view.
LOCK TABLE has complained about "infinite recursion" when applied
to a self-referential view, ever since we made it recurse into views
in v11.  However, that breaks pg_dump's new assumption that it's
okay to lock every relation.  There doesn't seem to be any good
reason to throw an error: if we just abandon the recursion, we've
still satisfied the requirement of locking every referenced relation.

Per bug #16703 from Andrew Bille (via Alexander Lakhin).

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
