Ok, done in v10.

Ok, I have added the missing checks and added these test cases to v10.

I didn't put the checks in StoreRelNotNull(), I think that is too late
in the process. (It's already trying to store it. The checking should
come earlier.) I put the checks into AddRelationNewConstraints() and
AddRelationNotNullConstraints(), which already have similar checks.
