Subject: [PATCH] Add compatibility note about grant options on GRANT reference
 page

Point out in the compatibility section that granting grant options to
PUBLIC is not supported by PostgreSQL.  This is already mentioned
earlier, but since it concerns the information schema, it might be
worth pointing out explicitly as a compatibility issue.
