I still think the easiest and fastest would be to just make RmgrTable longer,
and not const. When registering, copy the caller provided struct into the
respective RmgrData element.  Yes, we'd waste a bit of space at the end of the
array, but it's typically not going to be touched and thus not be backed by
"actual" memory.
