fd321a1dfd Remove superuser checks in pgstattuple
Now that we track initial privileges on extension objects and changes to
those permissions, we can drop the superuser() checks from the various
functions which are part of the pgstattuple extension and rely on the
GRANT system to control access to those functions.

Since a pg_upgrade will preserve the version of the extension which
existed prior to the upgrade, we can't simply modify the existing
functions but instead need to create new functions which remove the
checks and update the SQL-level functions to use the new functions
(and to REVOKE EXECUTE rights on those functions from PUBLIC).

Thanks to Tom and Andres for adding support for extensions to follow
update paths (see: 40b449a), allowing this patch to be much smaller
since no new base version script needed to be included.

Approach suggested by Noah.

5850b20f58 Add pgstattuple_approx() to the pgstattuple extension.
The new function allows to estimate bloat and other table level statics
in a faster, but approximate, way. It does so by using information from
the free space map for pages marked as all visible in the visibility
map. The rest of the table is actually read and free space/bloat is
measured accurately.  In many cases that allows to get bloat information
much quicker, causing less IO.

1dc118660b Fix pgstattuple functions to use regclass-type as the argument.
This allows us to specify the target relation with several expressions,
'relname', 'schemaname.relname' and OID in all pgstattuple functions.
pgstatindex() and pg_relpages() could not accept OID as the argument
so far.

Per discussion on -hackers, we decided to keep two types of interfaces,
with regclass-type and TEXT-type argument, for each pgstattuple
function because of the backward-compatibility issue. The functions
which have TEXT-type argument will be deprecated in the future release.

629b3af27d Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.

sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.
