Add a defense to prevent storing pseudo-type data into index columns.

Formerly, the lack of any opclasses that could accept such data was enough
of a defense, but now with a "record" opclass we need to check more carefully.
(You can still use that opclass for an index, but you have to store a named
composite type not an anonymous one.)
