Good point.  We rely now on the GUC parsing for reloptions, so having
cross-checks about what patterns are allowed or not is a good idea for
all reloption types.  I have added all that, and committed the
module.  The amount of noise generated by the string validator routine
was a bit annoying, so I have silenced them where they don't really
matter (basically everything except the initial creation).
