Rework query relation permission checking
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations
mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries.  So the
executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that
need to have permissions checked.  This can make the permission checking
part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many
inheritance children are present in the range range.  While the
permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the
executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out.

This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range
table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo.  Every
top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table
gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table.
This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range
table.  The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are
expanded.  Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual
subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for
checking.

To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a
given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex'
that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's
list of the latter.

ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the
signature is now:
typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable,
					      List *rtePermInfos,
					      bool ereport_on_violation);
The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook,
but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that
do.  Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to
determine which operations to allow or deny.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
