Since (as you said) they work completely differently, I think it'd be
more useful if vacuum_full were a separate privilege, rather than being
included in vacuum. And cluster could be allowed whenever vacuum_full
is allowed.

I think if vacuum privilege allows vacuum full, then it ought to also
allow cluster. But I suggest that it'd be even better if it doesn't
allow either, and there was a separate privilege for those.
