Improve and fix some error handling for REINDEX INDEX/TABLE CONCURRENTLY

This improves the user experience when it comes to restrict several
flavors of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY. First, for INDEX, remove a restriction
on shared relations as we already check after catalog relations. Then,
for TABLE, add a proper error message when attempting to run the command
on system catalogs. The code path of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY already
complains about that, but if a REINDEX is issued then then the error
generated is confusing.

While on it, add more tests to check restrictions on catalog indexes and
on toast table/index for catalogs. Some error messages are improved,
with wording suggestion coming from Tom Lane.
