Adjust permissions checking for ALTER OWNER commands: instead of
requiring superuserness always, allow an owner to reassign ownership to any role he is a member of, if that role would have the right to create a similar object. These three requirements essentially state that the would-be alterer has enough privilege to DROP the existing object and then re-CREATE it as the new role; so we might as well let him do it in one step. The ALTER TABLESPACE case is a bit squirrely, but the whole concept of non-superuser tablespace owners is pretty dubious anyway. Stephen Frost, code review by Tom Lane.
