Make VM clear take a RelFileLocator and not fake relcache

This brings it in line with visibilitymap_set(). An upcoming commit will
start reading visibility map buffers with XLogReadBuffer*() functions,
so we no longer require a relation object to pin the visibility map,
allowing us to remove this fake relcache business altogether.

While we're at it, remove a spurious const qualifier from the
RelFileLocator parameter to visibilitymap_set().
