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.

  * has no need to touch anyone's ProcState, except in the infrequent cases
  * when SICleanupQueue is needed.  The only point of overlap is that
  * the writer wants to change maxMsgNum while readers need to read it.
- * We deal with that by having a spinlock that readers must take for just
- * long enough to read maxMsgNum, while writers take it for just long enough
- * to write maxMsgNum.  (The exact rule is that you need the spinlock to
- * read maxMsgNum if you are not holding SInvalWriteLock, and you need the
- * spinlock to write maxMsgNum unless you are holding both locks.)
- *
- * Note: since maxMsgNum is an int and hence presumably atomically readable/
- * writable, the spinlock might seem unnecessary.  The reason it is needed
- * is to provide a memory barrier: we need to be sure that messages written
- * to the array are actually there before maxMsgNum is increased, and that
- * readers will see that data after fetching maxMsgNum.  Multiprocessors
- * that have weak memory-ordering guarantees can fail without the memory
- * barrier instructions that are included in the spinlock sequences.
+ * We deal with that by making maxMsgNum an atomic variable.  (The exact rule
+ * is that you need to use a barrier-providing accessor to read maxMsgNum if
+ * you are not holding SInvalWriteLock, and you need a barrier-providing
+ * accessor to write maxMsgNum unless you are holding both locks.)
