pgsql-shared-security-label.1.patch (application/octet-stream) patch

The attached patch enables to assign security labels on shared database object
types (database, tablespace, role).
As pg_description stuff doing, it adds a new pg_shseclabel catalog to store related
labels. Its internal APIs are kept. If and when (Get|Set|Delete)SecurityLabel is
invoked for the shared catalogs, it references the pg_shseclabel instead of the
pg_seclabel.
This patch also contains pg_dump support, actual use cases (contrib/sepgsql),
regression tests and updates of sgml documentation.

Thanks,
