Add ALTER INDEX, particularly for moving tablespaces.

This patch is a perfect example of why unreviewed patches should not go in during beta.

So far I have noticed the following problems with it:

* Added reference page wasn't linked into the docs build.

* Added a field to struct AlterTableStmt, but did not do the necessary
  housekeeping for extending a Node (eg, copyfuncs and equalfuncs
  adjustments), nor make sure the field is validly set in every place
  an AlterTableStmt is constructed.

* ALTER INDEX RENAME doesn't actually work.

regression=# alter index foo_pkey rename to zzz;
ERROR:  unrecognized rename stmt type: 9

That's not counting the problem someone else already reported with
incorrect tab-completion.

Yes, you are right. Because Gavin is "Mr Tablespaces" I didn't give it a thorough read.

FYI, I just fixed the tab completion problem.

Considering point 3 seems a wee bit critical, at least to me, should the patch be removed and postponed for a non-Beta period?
