Preserve pg_attribute.attstattarget across REINDEX CONCURRENTLY

For an index, attstattarget can be updated using ALTER INDEX SET
STATISTICS.  This data was lost on the new index after REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY.

The update of this field is done when the old and new indexes are
swapped to make the fix back-patchable.  Another approach we could look
after in the long-term is to change index_create() to pass the wanted
values of attstattarget when creating the new relation, but, as this
would cause an ABI breakage this can be done only on HEAD.
