Subject: [PATCH] 1/1] Minor rework of ALTER TABLE SET RelOptions code

1. `isnull` variable is actually needed in a very narrow scope, so
it is better to keep it in that scope, not keeping it in mind in while
dealing with the rest of the code.

2. Toast table RelOptions are never altered directly with ALTER command.
One should do ATLER to a heap relation and use toast. reloption namespace
to address toast's reloption. If you get `ATExecSetRelOptions` called with
`RELKIND_TOASTVALUE` relation in the args, something is really wrong. We
should throw asserts, errors and whistle as loud as we can.
