Hm, so

(1) currtid_byreloid and currtid_byrelname lack any check to see
if they're dealing with a relkind that lacks storage.

(2) The proximate cause of the crash is that rd_tableam is zero,
so that the interface functions in tableam.h just crash hard.
This seems like a pretty bad thing; does anyone want to promise
that there are no other oversights of the same ilk elsewhere,
and never will be?

I think it might be a good idea to make relations-without-storage
set up rd_tableam as a vector of dummy functions that will throw
some suitable complaint about "relation lacks storage".  NULL is
a horrible default for this.
