Here is a new patch set with some follow-up patches to implement $SUBJECT.
0001 is the same as v3.  0002 simplifies some WARNING messages as suggested
upthread [0].  0003 adds the new pg_vacuum_all_tables and
pg_analyze_all_tables predefined roles.  Instead of adjusting the
permissions logic in vacuum.c, I modified pg_class_aclmask_ext() to return
the ACL_VACUUM and/or ACL_ANALYZE bits as appropriate.
