The best answer I can think of is that a BufFileCreateTemp() caller
might not want to do catalog access. Perhaps the contortions within
assign_temp_tablespaces() are something that callers ought to opt in
to explicitly.
That doesn't seem like a particularly good or complete answer, though.
Perhaps it should simply be called within BufFileCreateTemp(). The
BufFile/fd.c layering is confusing in a number of ways IMV.
