Here's a patch that ERRORs if the object type and statement type do
not match.  Interestingly, some of the regression tests were relying
on this behavior.  I considered teaching RenameRelation() how to
handle such mismatches, but we have to choose the lock level before we
know the object type, so that might be more trouble than it's worth.

I'm not too happy with the error message format, but I'm not sure we
can do much better without listing all the object types or doing some
more invasive refactoring.
