Fix corner-case bug introduced with HOT: if REINDEX TABLE pg_class (or a
REINDEX DATABASE including same) is done before a session has done any other update on pg_class, the pg_class relcache entry was left with an incorrect setting of rd_indexattr, because the indexed-attributes set would be first demanded at a time when we'd forced a partial list of indexes into the pg_class entry, and it would remain cached after that. This could result in incorrect decisions about HOT-update safety later in the same session. In practice, since only pg_class_relname_nsp_index would be missed out, only ALTER TABLE RENAME and ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA could trigger a problem. Per report and test case from Ondrej Jirman.
