* Exported routine for examining a user's privileges for a largeobject

* The reason why this interface has an argument of snapshot is that
* we apply a snapshot available on lo_open(), not SnapshotNow, when
* it is opened as read-only mode.
* If we could see the metadata and data from inconsistent viewpoint,
* it will give us much confusion. So, we need to provide an interface
* which takes an argument of snapshot.
*
* If the caller refers a large object with a certain snapshot except
* for SnapshotNow, its permission checks should be also applied in
* the same snapshot.
* When a large object is opened for reading, it is opened relative to the
* caller's snapshot, but when it is opened for writing, it is always relative
* to SnapshotNow, as documented in doc/src/sgml/lobj.sgml. This function
* takes a snapshot argument so that the permissions check can be made relative
* to the same snapshot that will be used to read the underlying data.
