They don't do anything.

I think they were put in because we have this meme that the SQL spec
requires RESTRICT/CASCADE options on every type of DROP, but so far
as I can see, SQL99 has no such option for ALTER DOMAIN DROP CONSTRAINT.
So maybe it's a bug that we take the options for it.  Or maybe it's
better to leave them there, in case people are expecting them to
be there on the same reasoning.
