pgsql: Fix up handling of nondeterministic collations with pattern_ops

From

Fix up handling of nondeterministic collations with pattern_ops opclasses.

text_pattern_ops and its siblings can't be used with nondeterministic
collations, because they use the text_eq operator which will not behave
as bitwise equality if applied with a nondeterministic collation.  The
initial implementation of that restriction was to insert a run-time test
in the related comparison functions, but that is inefficient, may throw
misleading errors, and will throw errors in some cases that would work.
It seems sufficient to just prevent the combination during CREATE INDEX,
so do that instead.

Lacking any better way to identify the opclasses involved, we need to
hard-wire tests for them, which requires hand-assigned values for their
OIDs, which forces a catversion bump because they previously had OIDs
that would be assigned automatically.  That's slightly annoying in the
v12 branch, but fortunately we're not at rc1 yet, so just do it.

Back-patch to v12 where nondeterministic collations were added.

In passing, run make reformat-dat-files, which found some unrelated
whitespace issues (slightly different ones in HEAD and v12).

Peter Eisentraut, with small corrections by me
