I think this is totally misguided. Who's to say that some weird FDW
might not pay attention to attstorage? I could imagine a file-based
FDW using that to decide whether to compress columns, for instance.
Admittedly, the chances of that aren't large, but it's pretty hard
to argue that going out of our way to prevent it is a useful activity.
