    Clean up code associated with updating pg_class statistics columns · 3fdeb189

    (relpages/reltuples).  To do this, create formal support in heapam.c for
    "overwrite" tuple updates (including xlog replay capability) and use that
    instead of the ad-hoc overwrites we'd been using in VACUUM and CREATE INDEX.
    Take the responsibility for updating stats during CREATE INDEX out of the
    individual index AMs, and do it where it belongs, in catalog/index.c.  Aside
    from being more modular, this avoids having to update the same tuple twice in
    some paths through CREATE INDEX.  It's probably not measurably faster, but
    for sure it's a lot cleaner than before.
