Like in the attached reworked version, in which I renamed the function
to AlterObjectNamespace_internal because the other name seemed a bit
wrong in the fact of the existing AlterObjectNamespace_oid.

I also made the ALTER FUNCTION case go through
AlterObjectNamespace_internal; it seems pointless to have a separate
code path to go through when the generic one does just fine (also, this
makes functions identical to collations in implementation).  That's one
less hook point for sepgsql, I guess.
