Clean up some loose ends from the column privileges patch: add
has_column_privilege and has_any_column_privilege SQL functions; fix the information_schema views that are supposed to pay attention to column privileges; adjust pg_stats to show stats for any column you have select privilege on; and fix COPY to allow copying a subset of columns if the user has suitable per-column privileges for all the columns. To improve efficiency of some of the information_schema views, extend the has_xxx_privilege functions to allow inquiring about the OR of a set of privileges in just one call. This is just exposing capability that already existed in the underlying aclcheck routines. In passing, make the information_schema views report the owner's own privileges as being grantable, since Postgres assumes this even when the grant option bit is not set in the ACL. This is a longstanding oversight. Also, make the new has_xxx_privilege functions for foreign data objects follow the same coding conventions used by the older ones. Stephen Frost and Tom Lane
