Fix potential assertion failure when reindexing a pg_class index.
When reindexing individual indexes on pg_class it was possible to either trigger an assertion failure: TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(!ReindexIsProcessingIndex(((index)->rd_id))) That's because reindex_index() called SetReindexProcessing() - which enables an asserts ensuring no index insertions happen into the index - before calling RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). That not correct for indexes on pg_class, because RelationSetNewRelfilenode() updates the relevant pg_class row, which needs to update the indexes. The are two reasons this wasn't noticed earlier. Firstly the bug doesn't trigger when reindexing all of pg_class, as reindex_relation has code "hiding" all yet-to-be-reindexed indexes. Secondly, the bug only triggers when the the update to pg_class doesn't turn out to be a HOT update - otherwise there's no index insertion to trigger the bug. Most of the time there's enough space, making this bug hard to trigger. To fix, move RelationSetNewRelfilenode() to before the SetReindexProcessing() (and, together with some other code, to outside of the PG_TRY()). To make sure the error checking intended by SetReindexProcessing() is more robust, modify CatalogIndexInsert() to check ReindexIsProcessingIndex() even when the update is a HOT update. Also add a few regression tests for REINDEXing of system catalogs. The last two improvements would have prevented some of the issues fixed in 5c1560606dc4c from being introduced in the first place.
