It appears that there was a strong preference toward this solution, so 
that's what I implemented in the updated patch set.

(Considering the hints that are removed in the tests cases, I don't 
think this loses any value.  What might be useful in practice instead is 
something like "the option you specified on this foreign server should 
actually be specified on a user mapping or foreign table", but this 
would take a fair amount of code to cover a reasonable set of cases, so 
I'll leave this as a future exercise.)
