AccessExclusiveLock new relations just after assigning the OID.

This has no user-visible, important consequences, since other sessions'
catalog scans can't find the relation until we commit. However, this
unblocks introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a
pg_class row. CREATE TABLE has been acquiring this lock eventually, but
it can heap_update() pg_class.relchecks earlier. create_toast_table()
has been acquiring only ShareLock. Back-patch to v12 (all supported
versions), the plan for the commit relying on the new rule.

Reviewed (in an earlier version) by Robert Haas.
