Fix up handling of nondeterministic collations with pattern_ops opclasses.
text_pattern_ops and its siblings can't be used with nondeterministic collations, because they use the text_eq operator which will not behave as bitwise equality if applied with a nondeterministic collation. The initial implementation of that restriction was to insert a run-time test in the related comparison functions, but that is inefficient, may throw misleading errors, and will throw errors in some cases that would work. It seems sufficient to just prevent the combination during CREATE INDEX, so do that instead. Lacking any better way to identify the opclasses involved, we need to hard-wire tests for them, which requires hand-assigned values for their OIDs, which forces a catversion bump because they previously had OIDs that would be assigned automatically. That's slightly annoying in the v12 branch, but fortunately we're not at rc1 yet, so just do it. Back-patch to v12 where nondeterministic collations were added. In passing, run make reformat-dat-files, which found some unrelated whitespace issues (slightly different ones in HEAD and v12).
