Hi all,

Please find attached the version 2 of the patch for this feature, it
corrects the following things:
- toast relations are now rebuilt concurrently as well as other indexes
- concurrent constraint indexes (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, EXCLUSION) are
dropped correctly at the end of process
- exclusion constraints are supported, at least it looks to work correctly.
- Fixed a couple of bugs when constraint indexes were involved in process.

I am adding this version to the commit fest of next month for review.
Regards,
