One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table, which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind. Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion was triggered. Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and again the assertion would have failed. The simplest solution is just to remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the non-concurrent code path. While on it, add a regression test in postgres_fdw for the concurrent partition detach of a foreign table, as per a suggestion from Alexander Lakhin. Issue introduced in 71f4c8c.
