Amit Kapila 79b716cfb7 Reorder subskiplsn in pg_subscription to avoid alignment issues.
The column 'subskiplsn' uses TYPALIGN_DOUBLE (which has 4 bytes alignment
on AIX) for storage. But the C Struct (Form_pg_subscription) has 8-byte
alignment for this field, so retrieving it from storage causes an
unaligned read.

To fix this, we rearranged the 'subskiplsn' column in the catalog so that
it naturally comes at an 8-byte boundary.

We have fixed a similar problem in commit f3b421da5f. This patch adds a
test to avoid a similar mistake in the future.
