v17 attached

This version adds a GUC called ddl_exclusive_locks which allows us to
keep the 9.3 behaviour if we wish it. Some people may be surprised
that their programs don't wait in the same places they used to. We
hope that is a positive and useful behaviour, but it may not always be
so.

I'll commit this on Thurs 30 Jan unless I hear objections.

Thanks
