Fix rare failure to invalidate relation cache init file (Tom Lane)
      With just the wrong timing of concurrent activity, a VACUUM
      FULL on a system catalog might fail to update the “init file”
      that's used to avoid cache-loading work for new sessions.  This would
      result in later sessions being unable to access that catalog at all.
      This is a very ancient bug, but it's so hard to trigger that no
      reproducible case had been seen until recently.
     
      Avoid deadlock between incoming sessions and CREATE/DROP
      DATABASE (Tom Lane)
     
      A new session starting in a database that is the target of
      a DROP DATABASE command, or is the template for
      a CREATE DATABASE command, could cause the command to wait
      for five seconds and then fail, even if the new session would have
      exited before that.
