      Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodes · b9b8831a

      of shared or nailed system catalogs.  This has two key benefits:
      
      * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
      
      * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
        shared catalogs.
      
      CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
      shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
      only be visible in one database.
      
      Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
      crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
      shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
      
      This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
      deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
      concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch.  As a stopgap,
      parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
      such failures during the regression tests.
