FWIW, I think that this switch is a good idea for cases where we
potentially update a bunch of tuples, especially based on what
CatalogTupleInsert() tells in its top comment.  Each code path updated
here needs a performance check to see if that's noticeable enough, but
I can get behind the one of CopyStatistics(), at least.

EnumValuesCreate() would matter less as this would require a large set
of values in an enum, but perhaps ORMs would care and that should be
measurable.  update_attstats() should lead to a measurable difference
with a relation that has a bunch of attributes with few tuples.
DefineTSConfiguration() is less of an issue, still fine to change.
AddRoleMems() should be equally measurable with a large DDL.  As a
whole, this looks pretty sane to me and a good idea to move on with.

I still need to check properly the code paths changed here, of
course..
