I see absolutely *nothing* wrong with failing that command if bdr is not
installed. For an analogy, if this table includes a column of type bar
defined by some extension baz, we are certainly going to fail the
CREATE TABLE if baz isn't installed.

Now, if bdr is installed but the validation doesn't happen unless bdr
is "loaded" in some sense, then that is an implementation deficiency
that I think we can insist be rectified before this feature is accepted.
