As pointed by Robert in another thread [1], persisntence of (at least)
GiST index cannot be flipped in-place due to incompatibility of fake
LSNs with real ones.

This version RelationChangePersistence() is changed not to choose
in-place method for indexes other than btree. It seems to be usable
with all kind of indexes other than Gist, but at the mement it applies
only to btrees.
