Please find the new set of patches. It has below changes:

Patch-set Structure related changes to make it more organised:
1) Object-tree removal code (patch 0008 earlier) is now merged to
patch 0001. Now there is no reference of object-tree in the code.
2) Subscription tap-test for DDL Replication (patch 0006 earlier) is
now merged to patch 0003 (DDL Replication one), as it was a single
file change and thus seems more apt to be part of the DDL-Rep patch.
3) test_ddl_deparse_regress module (patch 0004 earlier) is now pulled
out for the time being.

Rest of the changes:
1) CTAS and SELECT INTO support removal. Initial draft aims to support
create,drop and alter-table first.
2) Doc compilation issue fix for 'doc/src/sgml/logical-replication.sgml'.
3) Verbose option removal. Current patch now WAL logs only the
information needed to construct the original DDL statement. Missing
clauses are not part of the final DDL string. I will upload support
for 'expanded' on/off in the next version.
4) Some code refactoring and optimization.

With these changes, I hope the patch-set is somewhat easier to review.

thanks
Shveta
