* [PATCH v50 1/8] Make index_concurrently_create_copy more general

Add a 'boolean concurrent' option, and make it work for both cases.
Also rename it to index_create_copy.

This allows it to be reused for other purposes -- specifically, for
REPACK CONCURRENTLY.

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.  This approach is
different from what CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY does.

Per a suggestion from Mihail Nikalayeu.

* [PATCH] Copy the relevant pg_attrdef catalog entries for the transient relation.

The default values may be needed by the executor when processing the
concurrent data changes. In particular, ExecInsertIndexTuples() needs it when
determining the value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM.

Like in copy_index_constraints(), we make the new catalog entries dependent on
the transient relation, so they are dropped along with it automatically.
