Subject: [PATCH] Fix a couple of unlogged tables goofs.

"SELECT ... INTO UNLOGGED tabname" works, but wasn't documented; CREATE
UNLOGGED SEQUENCE and CREATE UNLOGGED VIEW failed an assertion, instead
of throwing a sensible error.

Latter issue reported by Itagaki Takahiro; patch review by Tom Lane.
