Ignore CatalogSnapshot when checking COPY FREEZE prerequisites.
This restores the ability, essentially lost in commit ffaa44cb559db332baeee7d25dedd74a61974203, to use COPY FREEZE under REPEATABLE READ isolation. Back-patch to 9.4, like that commit. Reviewed by Tom Lane. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoahWDm-7fperBxzU9uZ99LPMUmEpSXLTw9TmrOgzwnORw@mail.gmail.com
