Thanks for the comments.  Please find attached a patch.  Now file_fdw
validates filename in:

* file_fdw_validator(), to catch lack of required option at DDL
* fileGetOptions(), to avoid crash caused by corrupted catalog

I used ereport for the former check, because maybe such error usually
happens and is visible to users.  This criteria was taken from the
document "Reporting Errors Within the Server".
