Allow a foreign table CHECK constraint to be initially NOT VALID.

robertmhaas · robertmhaas · commit 1f220c39072b · 2017-08-03T13:25:32.000-04:00
For a table, the constraint can be considered validated immediately, because the table must be empty. But for a foreign table this is not necessarily the case. Fixes a bug in commit f27a6b1. Amit Langote, with some changes by me. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/d2b7419f-4a71-cf86-cc99-bfd0f359a1ea@lab.ntt.co.jp
