I noticed that the docs for how to recover from a failed CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY say that «REINDEX does not support concurrent builds»,
which is no longer true. I was going to just remove the caveat, but
then I discovered that REINDEX CONCURRENTLY doesn't work on INVALID
indexes (why?).

Attached is a patch that instead adjust the claim to say that REINDEX
dos not support rebulilding invalid indexess concurrently.
