I liked Andres' original naming suggestion better FWIW. With this, one
wonders "concurrently what?"

Some suggestions,
"RelationSupportsConcurrentIndexing" or
"IndexSupportsConcurrently". Maybe replace the "ing" in the first or
"ly" in the second with "DDL" or "Ops". (Also, if it's just about
indexes and appears in index.h, why did you use the prefix "Relation"?)
In the indexcmds.c Reindex* routines, why not turn off the "concurrent"
flag?
