Remove ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES' requirement of schema CREATE permissions.

Browse Source 
Per discussion, this restriction isn't needed for any real security reason,
and it seems to confuse people more often than it helps them.  It could
also result in some database states being unrestorable.  So just drop it.

Back-patch to 9.0, where ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES was introduced.
