Tom Lane b142068622 Allow CREATE FOREIGN TABLE to include SERIAL columns. 
The behavior is that the required sequence is created locally, which is
appropriate because the default expression will be evaluated locally.
Per gripe from Brad Nicholson that this case was refused with a confusing
error message.  We could have improved the error message but it seems
better to just allow the case.

Also, remove ALTER TABLE's arbitrary prohibition against being applied to
foreign tables, which was pretty inconsistent considering we allow it for
views, sequences, and other relation types that aren't even called tables.
This is needed to avoid breaking pg_dump, which sometimes emits column
defaults using separate ALTER TABLE commands.  (I think this can happen
even when the default is not associated with a sequence, so that was a
pre-existing bug once we allowed column defaults for foreign tables.)

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
