I'd like to suggest a patch for reloption regression tests.

This patch tests case, that can be rarely met in actual life: when reloptions 
have some illegal option set (as a result of malfunction or extension 
downgrade or something), and user tries to remove this option by using RESET.
Current postgres behaviour is to actually remove this option.

Like:

UPDATE pg_class  SET reloptions = '{illegal_option=4}' 
   WHERE oid = 'reloptions_test'::regclass;

ALTER TABLE reloptions_test RESET (illegal_option);

Why this should be tested:
1. It is what postgres actually do now.
2. This behaviour is reasonable. DB User can fix problem without updating 
pg_class, having rights to change his own table.
3. Better to get test alarm, if this behavior is accidentally changed.
