Avoid unnecessary catalog updates in ALTER SEQUENCE

ALTER SEQUENCE can do nontransactional changes to the sequence (RESTART
clause) and transactional updates to the pg_sequence catalog (most other
clauses).  When just calling RESTART, the code would still needlessly do
a catalog update without any changes.  This would entangle that
operation in the concurrency issues of a catalog update (causing either
locking or concurrency errors, depending on how that issue is to be
resolved).

Fix by keeping track during options parsing whether a catalog update is
needed, and skip it if not.
