Simplify call to rebuild relcache entry for indexes

RelationClearRelation(rebuild == true) calls RelationReloadIndexInfo()
for indexes. We can rely on that in RelationIdGetRelation(), instead
of calling RelationReloadIndexInfo() directly. That simplifies the
code a little.

In the passing, add a comment in RelationBuildLocalRelation()
explaining why it doesn't call RelationInitIndexAccessInfo(). It's
because at index creation, it's called before the pg_index row has
been created. That's also the reason that RelationClearRelation()
still needs a special case to go through the full-blown rebuild if the
index support information in the relcache entry hasn't been populated
yet.
