Previously, it was legal to edit the column type of columns that were
depended on by views. This is not a good idea for various reasons, and
is not Postgres compatible to boot.
Now, it is illegal to alter the column type of columns that are depended
on views.
Closes #56166.
Release note (sql change): prevent column type modification of columns
that are depended on by views.
