RELKIND_SPECIAL

How about we remove RELKIND_SPECIAL? It was there only to support
the XactLockTable hack, but we don't need that anymore.

Go for it. Don't forget to remove the documentation mentions
(catalog.sgml at least). Might be a good idea to leave the code
for the case in psql/describe.c, though, just so psql doesn't choke
if run on an old database?

Done. I didn't find any other mentions in the documentation; I grepped
for "special" and "relkind".
