Robert Haas 3cdf7502f8 More documentation update for GRANT ... WITH SET OPTION.
Update the reference pages for various ALTER commands that
mentioned that you must be a member of role that will be the
new owner to instead say that you must be able to SET ROLE
to the new owner. Update ddl.sgml's generate statement on this
topic along similar lines.

Likewise, update CREATE SCHEMA and CREATE DATABASE, which
have options to specify who will own the new objects, to say
that you must be able to SET ROLE to the role that will own
them.

Finally, update the documentation for the GRANT statement
itself with some general principles about how the SET option
works and how it can be used.

Patch by me, reviewed (but not fully endorsed) by Noah Misch.

<command>ALTER TABLESPACE</command> can be used to change the definition of
a tablespace.

<para>
You must own the tablespace to change the definition of a tablespace.
To alter the owner, you must also be able to <literal>SET ROLE</literal>
to the new owning role.
(Note that superusers have these privileges automatically.)

<listitem>
<para>
A tablespace parameter to be set or reset. Currently, the only
available parameters are <varname>seq_page_cost</varname>,
<varname>random_page_cost</varname>, <varname>effective_io_concurrency</varname>
and <varname>maintenance_io_concurrency</varname>.
Setting these values for a particular tablespace will override the
planner's usual estimate of the cost of reading pages from tables in
that tablespace, and the executor's prefetching behavior, as established
by the configuration parameters of the
same name (see <xref linkend="guc-seq-page-cost"/>,
<xref linkend="guc-random-page-cost"/>,
<xref linkend="guc-effective-io-concurrency"/>,
<xref linkend="guc-maintenance-io-concurrency"/>). This may be useful if
one tablespace is located on a disk which is faster or slower than the
remainder of the I/O subsystem.
