jordi fita mas 92dba96b29 Add campsite_type_pet_cost relation to hold price of dogs in campsites
It is a separate relation, instead of having a field in campsite_type,
because not all campsite types allow dogs.  I could have added a new
field to campsite_type, but then its values it would be meaningless for
campsites that do not allow dogs, and a nullable field is not a valid
solution because NULL means “unknown”, but we **do** know the price —
none.

A separate relation encodes the same information without ambiguities nor
null values, and, in fact, removed the dogs_allowed field from
campsite_type to prevent erroneous status, such as a campsite type that
allows dogs without having a cost — even if the cost is zero, it has to
be added to the new relation.
