I think system catalog should not be a option at the first place since
it requires more extra workload to do.  see the calls of
IsCatalogRelation in heapam.c.

I prefer to create a new normal heap relation rather than a file since
heap realtion probabaly have better APIs.

How about creating the table just allowing the current user to
read/write or just same as the relation we are copying to?
