Robert Haas 25bb03166b Refactor permissions-checking for role grants.
Instead of having checks in AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems(), have
the callers perform checks where it's required. In some cases it
isn't, either because the caller has already performed a check for
the same condition, or because the check couldn't possibly fail.

The "Skip permission check if nothing to do" check in each of
AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems() is pointless. Some call sites
can't pass an empty list. Others can, but in those cases, the role
being modified is one that the current user has just created.
Therefore, they must have permission to modify it, and so no
permission check is required at all.

This patch is intended to have no user-visible consequences. It is
intended to simplify future work in this area.

Patch by me, reviewed by Mark Dilger.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
