Thank you for reviewing efforts.

Moving reloptions to AM code is the goal I am slowly moving to. I've started
some time ago with big patch https://commitfest.postgresql.org/14/992/ and
have been told to split it into smaller parts. So I did, and this patch is
last step that cleans options related things up, and then actual moving can be
done.

ToastGetTargetPageFreeSpace return a const value. I've change the code, so it
gets relation argument, that is not used, the way you suggested. But I am not
sure if it is good or bad idea. May be we will get some "Unused variable"
warning on some compilers. I like consistency... But not sure we need it here.

I guess here you are right, because here the logic is following: for heap
relation take option from options, for _all_ others use -1. This can be moved
to macro.

So I changed it to

/*
* HeapGetParallelWorkers
* Returns the heap's parallel_workers reloption setting.
* Note multiple eval of argument!
*/
#define HeapGetParallelWorkers(relation, defaultpw) \
(AssertMacro(relation->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_RELATION || \
relation->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW), \
(relation)->rd_options ? \
((HeapOptions *) (relation)->rd_options)->parallel_workers : \
(defaultpw))

/*
* RelationGetParallelWorkers
* Returns the relation's parallel_workers reloption setting.
* Note multiple eval of argument!
*/

#define RelationGetParallelWorkers(relation, defaultpw) \
(((relation)->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_RELATION || \
(relation)->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW) ? \
HeapGetParallelWorkers(relation, defaultpw) : defaultpw)

But I would not like to move

if (IsToastRelation(relation))
saveFreeSpace = ToastGetTargetPageFreeSpace(relation);
else
saveFreeSpace = HeapGetTargetPageFreeSpace(relation);

into macros, as there is a choice only between heap and toast. All other
relation types are not mentioned.

So we can not call it RelationGetTargetPageFreeSpace. It would be
ToastOrHeapGetTargetPageFreeSpace actually. Better not to have such macro.

Please find new version of the patch in the attachment.
