The goal with the changes is to improve consistency of messaging. These
messages are not at all consistent today. Personally, I like the idea
of being clear in the main errmsg() that these are permission denied
errors, but we could go the other way and change all the existing
messages which say 'permission denied' to only say 'you have to be
superuser or have X' instead and expect folks to realize it's a
permission denied error from the SQL error code..

Ok.
Thanks!
