Hello!
I started work on patch (draft attached). Draft has changes related only to `CREATE SUBSCRIPTION`.
I also introduce a new status (DEFFERED) for tables in `FOR TABLE` clause (but not in publication).
New column in pg_subscription (suballtables) will be used in `REFRESH` clause

> PUBLICATION publication_name [, ...]
> [ FOR TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [, ...]| FOR ALL TABLES ]
> [ WITH ( subscription_parameter [= value] [, ... ] ) ]

> 2. Each subscription should have "all tables" attribute.
> For example via a new column in pg_subscription "suballtables".
>
> 3. Add `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION (ADD TABLE | DROP TABLE)`:
> ```
> ALTER SUBSCRIPTION subscription_name ADD TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [WITH copy_data];
> ALTER SUBSCRIPTION subscription_name DROP TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name;
> ```
> 4. On `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION <name> REFRESH PUBLICATION` should check if table owner equals subscription owner. The
checkis ommited if subscription owner is superuser.
> 5. If superuser calls `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION REFRESH PUBLICATION` on subscription with table list and non-superuser
owner,we should filter tables which owner is not subscription's owner or maybe we need to raise error?
