Code review for row security.
Buildfarm member tick identified an issue where the policies in the relcache for a relation were were being replaced underneath a running query, leading to segfaults while processing the policies to be added to a query. Similar to how TupleDesc RuleLocks are handled, add in a equalRSDesc() function to check if the policies have actually changed and, if not, swap back the rsdesc field (using the original instead of the temporairly built one; the whole structure is swapped and then specific fields swapped back). This now passes a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS for me and should resolve the buildfarm error. In addition to addressing this, add a new chapter in Data Definition under Privileges which explains row security and provides examples of its usage, change \d to always list policies (even if row security is disabled- but note that it is disabled, or enabled with no policies), rework check_role_for_policy (it really didn't need the entire policy, but it did need to be using has_privs_of_role()), and change the field in pg_class to relrowsecurity from relhasrowsecurity, based on Heikki's suggestion. Also from Heikki, only issue SET ROW_SECURITY in pg_restore when talking to a 9.5+ server, list Bypass RLS in \du, and document --enable-row-security options for pg_dump and pg_restore. Lastly, fix a number of minor whitespace and typo issues from Heikki, Dimitri, add a missing #include, per Peter E, fix a few minor variable-assigned-but-not-used and resource leak issues from Coverity and add tab completion for role attribute bypassrls as well.

In addition to the <xref linkend="ddl-priv"> system available through
1533+

1534+
which limit the rows returned for normal queries and rows which can
1535+
be added through data modification commands. By default, tables do
1536+
not have any policies and all rows are visible and able to be added,
1537+
subject to the regular <xref linkend="ddl-priv"> system. This is
1538+
also known to as Row Level Security.

When row security is enabled on a table with
1543+
<xref linkend="sql-altertable">, all normal access to the table
1544+
(excluding the owner) for selecting rows or adding rows must be through
1545+
a policy. If no policy exists for the table, a default-deny policy is
1546+
used and no rows are visible or can be added. Privileges which operate
1547+
at the whole table level such as <literal>TRUNCATE</>, and
1548+
<literal>REFERENCES</> are not subject to row security.
1549+
</para>
1550+
1551+
<para>
1552+
Row security policies can be specific to commands, or to roles, or to
1553+
both. The commands available are <literal>SELECT</>, <literal>INSERT</>,
1554+
<literal>UPDATE</>, and <literal>DELETE</>. Multiple roles can be

<para>
1560+
To specify which rows are visible and what rows can be added to the
1561+
table with row security, an expression is required which returns a
1562+
boolean result. This expression will be evaluated for each row prior
1563+
to other conditionals or functions which are part of the query. The
1564+
one exception to this rule are <literal>leakproof</literal> functions,
1565+
which are guaranteed to not leak information. Two expressions may be
1566+
specified to provide independent control over the rows which are
1567+
visible and the rows which are allowed to be added. The expression
1568+
is run as part of the query and with the privileges of the user
1569+
running the query, however, security definer functions can be used in
1570+
the expression.

The table owners and superusers bypass the row security system when

querying a table, by default. Row security can be enabled for
1589+
superusers and table owners by setting
1590+
<xref linkend="guc-row-security"> to <literal>force</literal>. Any
1591+
user can request that row security be bypassed by setting
1592+
<xref linkend="guc-row-security"> to <literal>off</literal>. If
1593+
the user does not have privileges to bypass row security when
1594+
querying a given table then an error will be returned instead. Other
1595+
users can be granted the ability to bypass the row security system
1596+
with the <literal>BYPASSRLS</literal> role attribute. This
1597+
attribute can only be set by a superuser.

Each policy has a name and multiple policies can be defined for a

Referential integrity checks, such as unique or primary key constraints
1615+
and foreign key references, will bypass row security to ensure that
1616+
data integrity is maintained. Care must be taken when developing
1617+
schemas and row level policies to avoid a "covert channel" leak of
1618+
information through these referntial integrity checks.

1620+

<para>
1622+
To enable row security for a table,
1623+
the <command>ALTER TABLE</command> is used. For example, to enable
1624+
row level security for the table accounts, use:
1625+
</para>
1626+
1627+
<programlisting>
1628+

1629+
CREATE TABLE accounts (manager text, company text, contact_email text);

1632+
1633+
<para>
1634+
To create a policy on the account relation to allow the managers role
1635+
to view the rows of their accounts, the <command>CREATE POLICY</command>
1636+
command can be used:
1637+
</para>
1638+
1639+
<programlisting>
1640+

1644+
<para>
1645+
If no role is specified, or the special <quote>user</quote> name
1646+
<literal>PUBLIC</literal> is used, then the policy applies to all
1647+
users on the system. To allow all users to view their own row in
1648+
a user table, a simple policy can be used:
1649+
</para>
1650+
1651+
<programlisting>
1652+

1653+
USING (user = current_user);

1655+
1656+
<para>
1657+
To use a different policy for rows which are being added to the
1658+
table from those rows which are visible, the WITH CHECK clause
1659+
can be used. This would allow all users to view all rows in the
1660+
users table, but only modify their own:
1661+
</para>
1662+
1663+
<programlisting>
1664+
CREATE POLICY user_policy ON users
1665+

1668+

<para>
1670+
Row security can be disabled with the <command>ALTER TABLE</command>
1671+
also. Note that disabling row security does not remove the
1672+
policies which are defined on the table, they are simply ignored
1673+
and all rows are visible and able to be added, subject to the
1674+
normal privileges system.
