This change fixes node crashes that could happen due to stack overflow if views were created with circular dependencies.
Fixes: #98999
Epic: none
Co-authored-by: [email protected]
Release note (bug fix): If views are created with circular dependencies, CRDB returns the error "cyclic view dependency for relation" instead of crashing the node. This bug is present since at least 21.1.
Release justification: Fixes a bug that can cause the gateway node to
crash if there are self-referencing views.
