Move autogenerated array types out of the way during

Fix concurrent locking of tuple update chains (&Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
</para>
<para>
If several sessions concurrently lock a tuple update chain with
nonconflicting lock modes using an old snapshot, and they all
succeed, it was possible for some of them to nonetheless fail (and
conclude there is no live tuple version) due to a race condition.
This had consequences such as foreign-key checks failing to see a
tuple that definitely exists but is being updated concurrently.
