Use elog, not Assert, to report failure to provide an outer snapshot.
As of commit 84f5c2908, executing SQL commands (via SPI or otherwise) requires having either an active Portal, or a caller-established active snapshot. We were simply Assert'ing that that's the case. But we've now had a couple different reports of people testing extensions that didn't meet this requirement, and were confused by the resulting crash. Let's convert the Assert to a test-and-elog, in hopes of making the issue clearer for extension authors. Per gripes from Liu Huailing and RekGRpth. Back-patch to v11, like the prior commit.
