  1. Allow ALTER TABLE name {OF type | NOT OF}.

Allow ALTER TABLE name {OF type | NOT OF}.

This syntax allows a standalone table to be made into a typed table,
or a typed table to be made standalone.  This is possibly a mildly
useful feature in its own right, but the real motivation for this
change is that we need it to make pg_upgrade work with typed tables.
This doesn't actually fix that problem, but it's necessary
infrastructure.
