This patch (for 8.4, but applies fuzzily to 9.0) implements this idea.
Note that there's no explicit check that every heap option has a
corresponding toast option; that's left to the developer's judgement to
add.  I added the new member to relopt_gen struct so that existing
entries did not require changes in initializers.

(I'll leave the error as ERRCODE_CANT_CHANGE_RUNTIME_PARAM unless
someone thinks ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE is better)

I checked and this is the only heap setting that did not have a toast
setting.

I'll leave this open to comments for a bit more time than usual, to give
room for pgcon beers and such ...
