Avoid looping over all type cache entries in TypeCacheRelCallback()

Currently when a single relcache entry gets invalidated,
TypeCacheRelCallback() has to loop over all type cache entries to find
appropriate typentry to invalidate. Unfortunately, using the syscache here
is impossible, because this callback could be called outside a transaction
and this makes impossible catalog lookups. This is why present commit
introduces RelIdToTypeIdCacheHash to map relation OID to its composite type
OID.

We are keeping RelIdToTypeIdCacheHash entry while corresponding type cache
entry have something to clean. Therefore, RelIdToTypeIdCacheHash shouldn't
get bloat in the case of temporary tables flood.
