Add infrastructure for pg_get_*_ddl functions
Add parse_ddl_options(), append_ddl_option(), and append_guc_value()
helper functions in a new ddlutils.c file that provide common option
parsing and output formatting for the pg_get_*_ddl family of functions
which will follow in later patches. These accept VARIADIC text
arguments as alternating name/value pairs.
Callers declare an array of DdlOption descriptors specifying the
accepted option names and their types (boolean, text, or integer).
parse_ddl_options() matches each supplied pair against the array,
validates the value, and fills in the result fields. This
descriptor-based scheme is based on an idea from Euler Taveira.
This is placed in a new ddlutils.c file which will contain the
pg_get_*_ddl functions.
