I'm not sure that SQL standard specifies what database must do for this
case.
If the standard does not specify, then it depends on each database vendor's
decision.

Some people like not-null retained, other people may like not-null removed.
I think it will be ok if people can drop not-null or add not-null back
again after dropping pk.

In Master, not-null will reset when we drop PK directly. I hope dropping pk
indirectly
is consistent with dropping PK directly.
