Avoid permission failure in pg_sequences.last_value

Browse Source 
Before, reading pg_sequences.last_value would fail unless the user had
appropriate sequence permissions, which would make the pg_sequences view
cumbersome to use.  Instead, return null instead of the real value when
there are no permissions.
