The old RelationClearRelation function did different things depending on the arguments and circumstances. It could: a) remove the relation completely from relcache (rebuild == false), b) mark the entry as invalid (rebuild == true, but not in xact), or c) rebuild the entry (rebuild == true). Different callers used it for different purposes, and often assumed a particular behavior, which was confusing. Split it into three different functions, one for each of the above actions (one of them, RelationInvalidateRelation, was already added in commit e6cd857726). Move the responsibility of choosing the action and calling the right function to the callers.
