commit    af0e7deb4a1c369bb8154ac55f085d6a93fe5c35

    Don't destroy SMgrRelations at relcache invalidation
    
    With commit 21d9c3ee4e, SMgrRelations remain valid until end of
    transaction (or longer if they're "pinned"). Relcache invalidation can
    happen in the middle of a transaction, so we must not destroy them at
    relcache invalidation anymore.
    
    This was revealed by failures in the 'constraints' test in buildfarm
    animals using -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. That started failing with commit
    8af2565248, which was the first commit that started to rely on an
    SMgrRelation living until end of transaction.
