Hi,
The attached patch resolves the bug reported by Kaloyan Iliev [1] on -general.
The problem occurred when executing ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ...
PRIMARY KEY with no default clause, on a table with rows already
present. The NOT NULL constraint was not enforced. The bug has been
observed on (at least) 8.2, 8.3 and CVS HEAD.
The fix was to force evaluation of the NOT NULL constraint in
ATExecAddColumn in all cases where the parser indicated that the
column ought to be NOT NULL.

I realised that there's no reason for preparing a separate SetNotNull
subcommand anymore, now that ATExecAddColumn takes care of enforcing
the constraint, so I removed this special case.
I've also added a regression test for ADD COLUMN PRIMARY KEY.
