[ shrug... ] You could just flush 'em all, which is what most existing
inval callbacks do. Admittedly a libpq connection is a bit more
expensive than the average bit of invalidatable state, but how often
does pg_foreign_server get updated?
Or you could do like setrefs.c does, and assume you know how to
calculate the hash value for an OID-keyed cache.
