Fix incorrect memory access in VACUUM FULL with invalid toast indexes

An invalid toast index is skipped in reindex_relation(). These would be
remnants of a failed REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and they should never been
rebuilt as there can only be one valid toast index at a time.

REINDEX_REL_SUPPRESS_INDEX_USE, used by CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL, needs
to maintain a list of the indexes being processed. The list of indexes
is retrieved from the relation cache, and includes invalid indexes. The
code has missed that invalid toast indexes are ignored in
reindex_relation() as this leads to a hard failure in reindex_index(),
and they were left in the reindex pending list, making the list
inconsistent when rechecked. The incorrect memory access was happening
when scanning pg_class for the refresh of pg_database.datfrozenxid, when
doing a scan of pg_class.

This issue exists since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY exists, where invalid toast
indexes can exist, so backpatch all the way down.
