Add documentation for opclass options 

911e702077 added opclass options and adjusted documentation for each
particular affected opclass.  However, documentation for extendability was
not adjusted.  This commit adjusts documentation for interfaces of index AMs
and opclasses.

Currently, no B-Tree operator class has <function>options</function>

like GiST, SP-GiST, GIN and BRIN do. So, <function>options</function>
probably doesn't have much usage in current shape of B-tree index
