Quota calculations are performed per-owner at commit time. As only a
superuser can perform an ALTER TABLE OWNER, my implementation allows
quotas to be handled automatically at run-time for the current-owner.
Therefore, there is no need to perform new calculations for each user.
I'm still testing large objects.
