An implementation of table access method may be used for table/toast/matview, different relkinds
may define different set of reloptions. If they have the same reloption set, just ignore the relkind
parameter.

When defining a relation, the function knows only the access method name, not the AM routine struct.
The AmRoutine needs to be looked-up by its access method name or oid. The existing function
calculates AmRoutine by the handler oid, not by am oid.

OK, it make sense.

It's aligned to index_reloptions, and the function extractRelOptions also uses
an individual function other a pointer to AmRoutine struct.

Yes, the comment doesn't update.

DRAFT: The amoptions in TableAmRoutine may change to
```
bytea       *(*amoptions)(Datum reloptions, char relkind, ReloptionContext context);
enum ReloptionContext {
RELOPTION_INIT, // CREATE TABLE ... WITH(...)
RELOPTION_SET, // ALTER TABLE ... SET ...
RELOPTION_RESET, // ALTER TABLE ... RESET ...
RELOPTION_EXTRACT, // build reloptions from pg_class.reloptions
}
```
The callback always validates the reloptions if the context is not RELOPTION_EXTRACT.
If the TAM disallows to update some reloptions, it may throw an error when the context is
one of (RELOPTION_SET, RELOPTION_RESET).
The similar callback `amoptions` in IndexRoutine also applies this change.
BTW, it's hard to find an appropriate header file to define the ReloptionContext, which is
used by index/table AM.

Regards,
Hao Wu
