checks for individual-table-size functions, since anyone in the database could
get approximate values from pg_class.relpages anyway. Allow database-size to
users with CONNECT privilege for the target database (note that this is
granted by default). Allow tablespace-size if the user has CREATE privilege
on the tablespace (which is *not* granted by default), or if the tablespace is
the default tablespace for the current database (since we treat that as
implicitly allowing use of the tablespace).
and pg_tablespace_size to superusers. Perhaps we could weaken the first
case to just require SELECT privilege, but that doesn't work for the
other cases, so use ownership as the common concept.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

sake of brevity and clarity.
Make pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile(), and pg_cancel_backend()
return a boolean rather than an integer to indicate success or failure.
Along the way, make some minor cleanups to dbsize.c -- in particular,
use elog() rather than ereport() for "shouldn't happen" error
conditions, and remove some of the more flagrant violations of the
Postgres indentation conventions.
Catalog version bumped.
