We get the following error while adding an index:
create publication mypub for table idx_t1;
ERROR: "idx_t1" is an index
This error occurs internally from table_openrv function call, if we
could replace this with relation_openrv and then check the table kind,
we could throw a similar error message here too like the other changes
in the patch.
