Subject: [PATCH v32 3/4] Alter table set compression

Add support for changing the compression method associated
with a column.  There are only built-in methods so we don't
need to rewrite the table, only the new tuples will be
compressed with the new compression method.

Dilip Kumar based on the patches from Ildus Kurbangaliev.
Design input from Robert Haas and Tomas Vondra.
