Avoid syscache lookup while building a WAIT FOR tuple descriptor

Use TupleDescInitBuiltinEntry instead of TupleDescInitEntry when building
the result tuple descriptor for the WAIT FOR command. This avoids a syscache
access that could re-establish a catalog snapshot after we've explicitly
released all snapshots before the wait.
