Thanks for your check, and useful advise.
I was wondering if I should keep these flags, but I confirmed that I
can remove these from TidScan's flags.

Because, currently SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN is not used anywhere.
So I thought it might be better to avoid adding a new flag.
However, as you said, this flag may be useful for the future tid scan
feature (like [1])

Attach v4 patch. I re-added SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN to ScanOptions and
table_beginscan_tid.
And I remove unnecessary SO_ALLOW_* flags.

Best regards,
