Ok, you are the Boss ;-)

I've reverted all the macros names back to Relation* except those related to
fillfactor.

This is a really good idea. I felt uncomfortable with this (ViewOptions *)
type convertation without checking that it is really View. With Assert I fell
much more safe.

I've added AssertMacro to all options related macroses.

And so, adding asserts discovered a bug with parallel_workers options. That
are defined as Heap only option, but in get_relation_info in src/backend/
optimizer/util/plancat.c  a RelationGetParallelWorkers macros is also called
for toasts and other kinds of relations.
I've started a new thread dedicated to this issue, since it needs to be fixed
regardless to this patch.
And for now  I added here a hotfix for this issue that is good enough for now.


I also reworked some comments. BTW do you know what is this comments spoke
about:

 * RelationGetFillFactor() and RelationGetTargetPageFreeSpace() can only
 * be applied to relations that use this format or a superset for
 * private options data.

It is speaking about some old times when there can be some other type of
options? 'cause I do not understand what it is speaking about.
I've removed it, I hope I did not remove anything important.
