1. Document pgstattuple privileges without ambiguity

   Feike Steenbergen <feikesteenbergen@gmail.com> — 2017-08-21T07:47:45Z

   Hi,
   
   When installing pgstattuple on 10, the documentation about its
   privileges was unclear to me. (Does the pg_stat_scan_tables role get
   EXECUTE privileges by default or not?).
   
   By making the privilege paragraph less verbose and a duplicate of the
   paragraph used for pgfreespacemap and pgbuffercache we remove the
   ambiguity and make the documentation more uniform.
   
   The replacement paragrahp is much less verbose and loses some detailed
   pointers (to GRANT syntax), but in this instance I feel less is more.
   
   Regards,

   I agree that this has gotten a bit confusing after apparently being
   patched around a bit recently.  I have rewritten it a bit to make it
   clearer.
