Tom, do you have plans yet on how to store permissions granted on schemas?

For the almost-done permissions on functions and languages, I reuse the
aclitem arrays.  Since these objects only have one kind of permission, it
seems reasonable to overload the select/read permission bit for this.

However, I imagine that schemas may have a different set of permissions,
perhaps including CREATE and such, which might not fit into the aclitem.
In case you're inventing a whole new mechanism that needs to be
coordinated, let me know.
