Flush relcache entries when their FKs are meddled with

Back in commit 100340e2dcd0, we made relcache entries keep lists of the
foreign keys applying to the relation -- but we forgot to update
CacheInvalidateHeapTuple to flush those entries when new FKs got created
or existing ones updated/deleted.  No bugs appear to have been reported
that would be explained by this ommission, but I noticed the problem
while working on an unrelated bugfix which clearly showed it.  Fix by
adding relcache flush on relevant foreign key changes.

Backpatch to 9.6, like the aforementioned commit.
