We already present such locks as being on transaction id such-and-such,
not on relations.  IMHO the original wording (waiting on transaction
NNN) is okay; you don't need to fool around with passing around a
relation name (which is misleading anyway).

If you want to provide a friendlier way to display tuple locks, that's
okay but it's a separate patch.
