Pushing it into the RelFileNode has some advantages in terms of being
able to get at the information from everywhere, but one thing that
makes me think that's probably not a good decision is that we somtimes
WAL-log relfilenodes. And WAL-logging the value of the isTemp flag is
a waste, because if we're WAL-logging, it's zero.
