CREATE INDEX: use the original userid for more ACL checks.

Commit a117cebd63 used the original userid for ACL checks located directly in DefineIndex(), but it still adopted the table owner userid for more ACL checks than intended. That broke dump/reload of indexes that refer to an operator class, collation, or exclusion operator in a schema other than "public" or "pg_catalog". Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions), like the earlier commit. Nathan Bossart and Noah Misch Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/f8a4105f076544c180a87ef0c4822352@stmuk.bayern.de
