Revert MAINTAIN privilege and pg_maintain predefined role.
This reverts the following commits: 4dbdb82513, c2122aae63,
5b1a879943, 9e1e9d6560, ff9618e82a, 60684dd834, 4441fc704d,
and b5d6382496. A role with the MAINTAIN privilege may be able to
use search_path tricks to escalate privileges to the table owner.
Unfortunately, it is too late in the v16 development cycle to apply
the proposed fix, i.e., restricting search_path when running
maintenance commands.
Bumps catversion.
