In case of "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub1 SET" there are 2 possible  tab
completion options, user can either specify "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub1
SET PUBLICATION pub1" or "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub1 SET ( SET option
like STREAMING,etc = 'on')", that is why we have 2 possible options as
below:
postgres=# ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub1 SET
(            PUBLICATION

Whereas in the case of SKIP there is only one possible tab completion
option i.e XID. We handle similarly in case of WITH option, we specify
"WITH (" in case of tab completion for "CREATE PUBLICATION pub1"
postgres=# CREATE PUBLICATION pub1
FOR ALL TABLES            FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA  FOR TABLE
       WITH (
