+1 for including this in CI tests

No. I presume koel is using src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list,
which has always been the "canonical" list but up to now we've
been lazy about maintaining it. Part of the new regime is that
typedefs.list should now be updated on-the-fly by patches that
add new typedefs.

We should still compare against the buildfarm's list periodically;
but I imagine that the primary result of that will be to remove
no-longer-used typedefs from typedefs.list.
