This could be debatable. To be honest, if I run something like vacuumdb mydb,
*I* expect all eligible tables in that database to be vacuumed. If I forget to
grant the necessary privileges to the role, I’d prefer to see errors from
vacuumdb so I can fix the permissions.

If we decide to skip tables without enough privilege, I’d prefer adding
an option like --skip-unprivileged-tables rather than changing the default behavior.
