Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] fix NOT VALID NOT NULL CONSTRAINT with identity column

fix the below problem:

CREATE TABLE notnull_tbl1 (a int, b int);
INSERT INTO notnull_tbl1 VALUES (NULL, 1), (300, 3);
ALTER TABLE notnull_tbl1 ADD CONSTRAINT nn NOT NULL a NOT VALID; -- ok

ALTER TABLE notnull_tbl1 ALTER COLUMN a ADD GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY; --expect error
ALTER TABLE notnull_tbl1 ADD CONSTRAINT nn NOT NULL a NOT VALID,
  ALTER COLUMN a ADD GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY; --expect error
