caches that we don't actually need to touch.  This saves some trivial
number of cycles and avoids certain cases of deadlock when doing concurrent
VACUUM FULL on system catalogs.  Per report from Gavin Roy.

Backpatch to 8.2.  In earlier versions, CatalogCacheInitializeCache didn't
lock the relation so there's no deadlock risk (though that certainly had
plenty of risks of its own).

checkpoint timeout can incrase the time needed for crash recovery, per
suggestion from Simon.

temporary table; we can't support that because there's no way to clean up the
source backend's internal state if the eventual COMMIT PREPARED is done by
another backend.  This was checked correctly in 8.1 but I broke it in 8.2 :-(.
