Disallow SET UNLOGGED for tables in a publication's EXCEPT clause.

Unlogged tables cannot be replicated, so they can neither be published nor
be named in a publication's EXCEPT clause. ALTER TABLE ... SET UNLOGGED
checked only whether the table was published, so a table in an EXCEPT
clause could still be made unlogged, leaving a state that CREATE
PUBLICATION would reject and that pg_dump could not restore.
