Hmm, I think that if we're going to do this, we should do it for all
AMs, not just table AMs, since surely index AMs also want extensible
reloptions; and I think that makes the 'validate' mechanism dead code
and so we should remove it.

I think this means that you can have tables with mistyped options, and
you'd not get an error message about them. Is that right? Is that what
we want?
