Nice catch, "DROP 'bar'" is considered to be unqualified and thus ADD is
assumed, generating the below options:

postgres=# alter foreign data wrapper dummy options (add foo '1', drop 'bar');
ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
postgres=# select fdwoptions from pg_foreign_data_wrapper where fdwname='dummy';
    fdwoptions
------------------
 {foo=1,drop=bar}
(1 row)

This has been incorrect since forever so I will backpatch this into all
supported versions.
