Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.

There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

<para>
A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser.
The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases may still reside
in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are using
the tablespace.
