    Adjust permissions checking for ALTER OWNER commands: instead of · aa111062
    Tom Lane authored
    requiring superuserness always, allow an owner to reassign ownership
    to any role he is a member of, if that role would have the right to
    create a similar object.  These three requirements essentially state
    that the would-be alterer has enough privilege to DROP the existing
    object and then re-CREATE it as the new role; so we might as well
    let him do it in one step.  The ALTER TABLESPACE case is a bit
    squirrely, but the whole concept of non-superuser tablespace owners
    is pretty dubious anyway.  Stephen Frost, code review by Tom Lane.
