Waiting for PostgreSQL 16 – Add grantable MAINTAIN privilege and pg_maintain role.

On 14th of December 2022, Jeff Davis committed patch:

Add grantable MAINTAIN privilege and pg_maintain role.
 
Allows VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER,
and LOCK TABLE.
 
Effectively reverts 4441fc704d. Instead of creating separate
privileges for VACUUM, ANALYZE, and other maintenance commands, group
them together under a single MAINTAIN privilege.
