I took a look at this, and I think it's probably neater to keep the
"AS SELECT" completion for CREATE [OR REPLACE] VIEW xxx WITH (*)
separate from the already existing support for "AS SELECT" without
WITH.

A couple of other points:

1. It looks slightly neater, and works better, to complete one word at
a time -- e.g., "WITH" then "(", instead of "WITH (", since the latter
doesn't work if the user has already typed "WITH".

2. It should also complete with "=" after the option, where appropriate.

3. CREATE VIEW should offer "local" and "cascaded" after
"check_option" (though there's no point in doing likewise for the
boolean options, since they default to true, if present, and false
otherwise).

Attached is an updated patch, incorporating those comments.

Barring any further comments, I think this is ready for commit.
