In rebuild_relation(), don't access an already-closed relcache entry.

This reliably fails with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as reported by
Andrew Dunstan, and could sometimes fail in normal operation, resulting
in a wrong persistence value being used for the transient table.
It's not immediately clear to me what effects that might have beyond
the risk of a crash while accessing OldHeap->rd_rel->relpersistence,
but it's probably not good.

Bug introduced by commit f41872d0c, and made substantially worse by
commit 85b506bbf, which added a second such access significantly
later than the heap_close.  I doubt the first reference could fail
in a production scenario, but the second one definitely could.
