Committed, with minor adjustments. This is actually against 8.3; it
needs to use the new syscache macros in head (which I did).

I wonder if we should think about back-patching just the syscache.h
portion of that patch. It would simplify back-patching, and might
make life easier for people trying to write extensions that are
compatible with multiple PG versions, too.

Not sure. Maybe it will make back-patching a bit easier, but we don't
normally consider back-patching cosmetic changes, which is what this
really is.

I don't buy the suggestion that third-party extensions would be able
to rely on it across versions. They can't know if they're going to be
compiled against the latest minor release or not. So it's just a
question of whether it'll improve matters enough for our own
back-patches.
