Fujii Masao d0f4b6350d doc: Document IF NOT EXISTS option for ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ADD COLUMN. 
Commit 2cd40adb85 added the IF NOT EXISTS option to ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN.
This also enabled IF NOT EXISTS for ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ADD COLUMN,
but the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE documentation was not updated to mention it.

This commit updates the documentation to describe the IF NOT EXISTS option for
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ADD COLUMN.

While updating that section, also this commit clarifies that the COLUMN keyword
is optional in ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ADD/DROP COLUMN. Previously, part of
the documentation could be read as if COLUMN were required.

This commit adds regression tests covering these ALTER FOREIGN TABLE syntaxes.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
