There's a reason why CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE is superuser-only:
it's on you to supply valid parameters. varchar_support is a
completely inappropriate choice for a TS template init function.
The proposed patch doesn't add any meaningful amount of safety
(just add some options to the dictionary, and it'll still crash).
Moreover, the patch breaks init functions that would, say, want
to insist that option X be provided.
