Actually, looking at the grammar again I realized that the '('options')'
part could be refactored; and with that, keeping an extra production for
REINDEX DATABASE CONCURRENTLY is short enough. It is removed from
REINDEX SYSTEM, but that's OK because that doesn't work anyway.

I added the new test lines you proposed and amended the docs; the result
is attached.

Initially I wanted to use the "optional list of options" for all
utilities that have similar constructions, (VACUUM, ANALYZE, CLUSTER,
EXPLAIN) but it is not possible because their alternative productions
accept different keywords, so it doesn't look possible.
