Fix up rickety handling of relation-truncation interlocks.
Move rd_targblock, rd_fsm_nblocks, and rd_vm_nblocks from relcache to the smgr relation entries, so that they will get reset to InvalidBlockNumber whenever an smgr-level flush happens. Because we now send smgr invalidation messages immediately (not at end of transaction) when a relation truncation occurs, this ensures that other backends will reset their values before they next access the relation. We no longer need the unreliable assumption that a VACUUM that's doing a truncation will hold its AccessExclusive lock until commit --- in fact, we can intentionally release that lock as soon as we've completed the truncation. This patch therefore reverts (most of) Alvaro's patch of 2009-11-10, as well as my marginal hacking on it yesterday. We can also get rid of assorted no-longer-needed relcache flushes, which are far more expensive than an smgr flush because they kill a lot more state. In passing this patch fixes smgr_redo's failure to perform visibility-map truncation, and cleans up some rather dubious assumptions in freespace.c and visibilitymap.c about when rd_fsm_nblocks and rd_vm_nblocks can be out of date.
