Commits 4eb21763 and b74e94dc introduced a way to force every backend to close all relation files, to fix an ancient Windows-only bug. This commit extends that behavior to all operating systems and adds a couple of extra barrier points, to fix a totally different class of bug: the reuse of relfilenodes in scenarios that have no other kind of cache invalidation to prevent file descriptor mix-ups. In all releases, data corruption could occur when you moved a database to another tablespace and then back again. Despite that, no back-patch for now as the infrastructure required is too new and invasive. In master only, since commit aa010514, it could also happen when using CREATE DATABASE with a user-supplied OID or via pg_upgrade.
