    Adjust behavior of row_security GUC to match the docs. · 5d354382

    Some time back we agreed that row_security=off should not be a way to
    bypass RLS entirely, but only a way to get an error if it was being
    applied.  However, the code failed to act that way for table owners.
    Per discussion, this is a must-fix bug for 9.5.0.
    
    Adjust the logic in rls.c to behave as expected; also, modify the
    error message to be more consistent with the new interpretation.
    The regression tests need minor corrections as well.  Also update
    the comments about row_security in ddl.sgml to be correct.  (The
    official description of the GUC in config.sgml is already correct.)
    
    I failed to resist the temptation to do some other very minor
    cleanup as well, such as getting rid of a duplicate extern declaration.
