Make ALTER SEQUENCE, including RESTART, fully transactional.

Browse Source 
Previously the changes to the "data" part of the sequence, i.e. the
one containing the current value, were not transactional, whereas the
definition, including minimum and maximum value were.  That leads to
odd behaviour if a schema change is rolled back, with the potential
that out-of-bound sequence values can be returned.

To avoid the issue create a new relfilenode fork whenever ALTER
SEQUENCE is executed, similar to how TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY
already is already handled.

This commit also makes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART transactional, as it
seems to be too confusing to have some forms of ALTER SEQUENCE behave
transactionally, some forms not.  This way setval() and nextval() are
not transactional, but DDL is, which seems to make sense.

This commit also rolls back parts of the changes made in 3d092fe540
and f8dc1985f as they're now not needed anymore.

The optional clause <literal>RESTART [ WITH <replaceable

current value of the sequence. This is equivalent to calling the
current value of the sequence. This is similar to calling the
<function>setval</> function with <literal>is_called</literal> =

Like a <function>setval</function> call, a <literal>RESTART</literal>
operation on a sequence is never rolled back, to avoid blocking of
concurrent transactions that obtain numbers from the same sequence.
(The other clauses cause ordinary catalog updates that can be rolled
back.)
In contrast to a <function>setval</function> call,
a <literal>RESTART</literal> operation on a sequence is transactional
and blocks concurrent transactions from obtaining numbers from the
same sequence. If that's not the desired mode of
operation, <function>setval</> should be used.
