> Log message:
>     Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:
>     pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname.
>     pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid.
>     pg_am now has unique index on oid.
>     pg_opclass now has unique index on oid.
>     pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum.
>     Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache.
>     Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons
>     (caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is
>     rather pointless).
>     Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on
>     adrelid+adnum.
>
>     Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the
>     primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not.
>     IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared
>     during initial creation of tables and indexes.  In theory we might now
>     support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get
>     entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases.

>     Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have
>     the same OID.  (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's
>     actually used to do lookups ;-))
>
>     There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap
>     relations.  Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired
>     entries in pg_class and friends.
>
>     Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki,
>     since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless.
>     Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared
>     system relations.
>
>     Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use
>     AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do).
>     Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.
