This is the 3rd revised fillfactor patch.
Now, AM specific options are stored in pg_class.reloptions as text[].
Also, some bugs are fixed. It passed all regression tests.

The column format of options is changed from bytea to an array of text,
so re-parsing is needed every time a connection accesses a relation.
I changed to write pre-parsed options into pg_internal.init, but AFAICS,
only system relations are written in it. If we will find the parsing
is slow, it might be good to store options for user relations, too.
