We could probably fix that by adding it to the stats structs that are
passed around during VACUUM. I'd rather not hardwire a GIN special case
in vacuum.c as per your "quick hack".

Here I think it would be best to add an indclusterable column to pg_am.
Actually, does clustering on *any* current index type except btree make
sense? None of them have semantically interesting index ordering
AFAIR, so maybe we should just reject CLUSTER on all of 'em not only GIN.
