I'm going to set this CF item back to Waiting on Author, because (a)
there doesn't seem to be an actual concrete patch presented at the
moment, only a stack of hard-to-follow deltas, and (b) the patch
certainly needs updates for the extension mechanism and committed
FDW API anyway.

FYI, I removed those fields from the committed API patch. I don't
think it's a good idea to cache potentially-changeable things in a
plan node when you can perfectly well fetch them at runtime. Caching
user OID is flat wrong anyway, as there's no guarantee that a cached
plan will be executed under the same userid it was made with.
