Fixed - regular users can create views and rules

Will check this too

Rules can be used to make views updateable

> * making INSTEAD rules work
> * add CONSTRAINT
The restricted part of rules are robust and instead rules
work. Constraints could be implemented as rules but would
require a new RAISE statement. I'll work on constraints
for 6.5.
> * Allow INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM view to work
Should work - will check it.
> * Allow views on a UNION
> * Allow DISTINCT on view
> * Allow views of aggregate columns
Check - not yet - check
> * Allow views to specify column names outside SELECT statement
??? what is meant by that?
