Since there don't seem to be any more objections to "security_invoker" I 
attached v10 renaming it again.

I've tried to better clarify the whole invoker vs. definer thing in the 
CREATE VIEW documentation by explicitly mentioning that 
"security_invoker=false" is _not_ the same as "security definer", based 
on the earlier discussions.

This should hopefully avoid any implicit associations.

Thanks,
Christoph
