pgsql: Preserve clustered index after rewrites with ALTER TABLE

Preserve clustered index after rewrites with ALTER TABLE

A table rewritten by ALTER TABLE would lose tracking of an index usable
for CLUSTER.  This setting is tracked by pg_index.indisclustered and is
controlled by ALTER TABLE, so some extra work was needed to restore it
properly.  Note that ALTER TABLE only marks the index that can be used
for clustering, and does not do the actual operation.
