Is there anything stopping us from adding syntax like this?

    GRANT VACUUM, ANALYZE ON TABLE foo TO bar;

That doesn't fix the CHECKPOINT issue, but surely vacuum and analyze can
be done that way.  I would much prefer that over new predefined roles.

This would be nice, but there is nothing to hang our hat on:

    GRANT CHECKPOINT TO username;
