Peter Eisentraut 45b9805706 Allow CURRENT_ROLE where CURRENT_USER is accepted
In the particular case of GRANTED BY, this is specified in the SQL
standard.  Since in PostgreSQL, CURRENT_ROLE is equivalent to
CURRENT_USER, and CURRENT_USER is already supported here, adding
CURRENT_ROLE is trivial.  The other cases are PostgreSQL extensions,
but for the same reason it also makes sense there.

<command>ALTER LARGE OBJECT</command> changes the definition of a
large object.
</para>
<para>
You must own the large object to use <command>ALTER LARGE OBJECT</command>.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role. (However, a superuser can alter any large object anyway.)
Currently, the only functionality is to assign a new owner, so both
restrictions always apply.
