Reading options from pg_class is not a good idea. We already do this in
reloption regression test. Here the thing is almost same...

My point of testing was to read these values from bytea right from
inside of the module. This is not exactly the same value as in pg_class.
It _should_ be the same. But nobody promised is _is_ the same. That is
why I was reading it right from relotions in-memory bytea, the same way
real access methods do it.

And then we came to a GUC variables. Because it we have five reloptions
and we print them all each time we change something, there would be
quite huge output.
It is ok when everything goes well. Comparing with 'expected' is cheap.
But is something goes wrong, then it would be very difficult to find
proper place in this output to deal with it.
So I created GUCs so we can get only one output in a row, not a whole
bunch.

These are my points.
