Tom Lane 3a694bb0a1 Restructure LOCKTAG as per discussions of a couple months ago. ...

Essentially, we shoehorn in a lockable-object-type field by taking
a byte away from the lockmethodid, which can surely fit in one byte
instead of two.  This allows less artificial definitions of all the
other fields of LOCKTAG; we can get rid of the special pg_xactlock
pseudo-relation, and also support locks on individual tuples and
general database objects (including shared objects).  None of those
possibilities are actually exploited just yet, however.

I removed pg_xactlock from pg_class, but did not force initdb for
that change.  At this point, relkind 's' (SPECIAL) is unused and
could be removed entirely.
