I did step back and did some test. game with CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL has not sense
in SPI_cursor_open. I didn't tests with table's joins where this problem is
visible before.

I propose add new function SPI_prepare_with_option(..) which allow set
option for planner. Isn't problem add to SPI_open_cursor assert for holdable
cursors. This needs propably rewriting functions pg_plan_query and
pg_plan_queries.

Or new function SPI_prepare_cursor(...) which can be similar
PerformCursorOpen. This doesn't change others functions.
