Stephen Frost 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.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
