I left out the relkind check from the final commit because, for one
thing, the check you added isn't actually right: toast relations can
also have a visibility map.  And also, I'm sort of wondering what the
point of that check is.  What does it protect us from?  It doesn't
seem very future-proof ... what if we add a new relkind in the future?
 Do we really want to have to update this?

How about instead changing things so that we specifically reject
indexes?  And maybe some kind of a check that will reject anything
that lacks a relfilnode?  That seems like it would be more on point.
