Run catalog reindexing test from 3dbb317d32 serially, to avoid deadlocks.

The tests turn out to cause deadlocks in some circumstances. Fairly
reproducibly so with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE
-DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE.  Some of the deadlocks may be hard to fix
without disproportionate measures, but others probably should be fixed
- but not in 12.

We discussed removing the new tests until we can fix the issues
underlying the deadlocks, but results from buildfarm animal
markhor (which runs with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) indicates that there
might be a more severe, as of yet undiagnosed, issue (including on
stable branches) with reindexing catalogs. The failure is:
ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/16384/28025": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
Therefore it seems advisable to keep the tests.

It's not certain that running the tests in isolation removes the risk
of deadlocks. It's possible that additional locks are needed to
protect against a concurrent auto-analyze or such.

Per discussion with Tom Lane.
