Use correct horizon when vacuuming catalog relations. 

In dc7420c2c9 I (Andres) accidentally used
RelationIsAccessibleInLogicalDecoding() as the sole condition to use the
non-shared catalog horizon in GetOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). That is
incorrect, as RelationIsAccessibleInLogicalDecoding() checks whether wal_level
is logical.

The correct check, as done e.g. in GlobalVisTestFor(), is to check
IsCatalogRelation() and RelationIsAccessibleInLogicalDecoding().

The observed misbehavior of this bug was that there could be an endless loop
in lazy_scan_prune(), because the horizons used in heap_page_prune() and the
individual tuple liveliness checks did not match. Likely there are other
potential consequences as well.

A later commit will unify the determination which horizon has to be used, and
add additional assertions to make it easier to catch a bug like this.
