I'm not entirely sure, but I think the relevant v16 change is that
CREATEROLE used to imply having ADMIN on every (non-superuser) role.
Now it doesn't, and you have to actually have a WITH ADMIN OPTION
grant. You do automatically get WITH ADMIN OPTION on roles you
create yourself --- but in this example, dd_owner did not create
dd_admin.
