Previously, we would only consider indexes marked indisvalid as usable for INSERT ON CONFLICT. But that's problematic during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, because concurrent transactions would end up with inconsistents lists of inferred indexes, leading to deadlocks and spurious errors about unique key violations (because two transactions are operating on different indexes for the speculative insertion tokens). Change this function to return indexes even if invalid. This fixes the spurious errors and deadlocks. Because such indexes might not be complete, we still need uniqueness to be verified in a different way. We do that by requiring that at least one index marked valid is part of the set of indexes returned. It is that index that is going to help ensure that the inserted tuple is indeed unique. This does not fix similar problems occurring with partitioned tables or with named constraints. These problems will be fixed in follow-up commits. We have no user report of this problem, even though it exists in all branches. Because of that and given that the fix is somewhat tricky, I decided not to backpatch for now.
