Exclude views from get_table_names()

CHANGES.md

@@ -5,6 +5,10 @@ Unreleased
   - include identity column info (#297), and
   - avoid parse error when reflecting ENUMs (#303).  
   (CRDB 26.3+ required for full compatibility.)
+- `get_table_names()` and `has_table()` now use the upstream PostgreSQL
+  implementations. `get_table_names()` returns base tables only; views were
+  also listed and are reported by `get_view_names()`. `has_table()` still
+  returns True for views, as in SQLAlchemy 2.0 (#310).
