I do not think this is a great idea for the per-relation smgrs created
during RelationCopyStorageUsingBuffer. Yeah, they'll be mopped up at
transaction end, but that doesn't mean that creating possibly tens of
thousands of transient smgrs isn't going to cause performance issues.
I think RelationCopyStorageUsingBuffer needs to open and then close
the smgrs it uses, which means that ReadBufferWithoutRelcache is not the
appropriate API for it to use, either; need to go down another level.
