Since commit 3a9b18b309
, roles with privileges of pg_signal_backend
cannot signal autovacuum workers. Many users treated the ability
to signal autovacuum workers as a feature instead of a bug, so we
are reintroducing it via a new predefined role. Having privileges
of this new role, named pg_signal_autovacuum_worker, only permits
signaling autovacuum workers. It does not permit signaling other
types of superuser backends.
Bumps catversion.
