Log Message:
-----------
Relax permissions checks on dbsize functions, per discussion.  Revert out all
checks for individual-table-size functions, since anyone in the database could
get approximate values from pg_class.relpages anyway.  Allow database-size to
users with CONNECT privilege for the target database (note that this is
granted by default).  Allow tablespace-size if the user has CREATE privilege
on the tablespace (which is *not* granted by default), or if the tablespace is
the default tablespace for the current database (since we treat that as
implicitly allowing use of the tablespace).
