Log message:
    Restructure system-catalog index updating logic.  Instead of having
    hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
    mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table.  This
    reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single
    line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you
    can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
    improves performance a little.  Per recent pghackers discussion.
