This PR backports an upstream fix for online DDL table rename cutover. We need to be very careful with this back port and should definitely be tested before being merged and deployed. Unfortunately unit/e2e testing is hard for this because the failure case is inherently flaky in a codified test. However, we have a reproducible example of the error it is meant to fix and we can confirm that works and that other schema changes continue to work.
