Add TOAST table to pg_index. This change allows pg_index rows to use out-of-line storage for the "indexprs" and "indpred" columns, which enables use-cases such as very large index expressions.
This system catalog was previously not given a TOAST table due to a fear of circularity issues (see commit 96cdeae07f). Testing has not revealed any such problems, and it seems unlikely that the entries for system indexes could ever need out-of-line storage. In any case, it is still early in the v18 development cycle, so committing this now will hopefully increase the chances of finding any unexpected problems prior to release. Bumps catversion.
