pg_partman 4.0.0 released

The next major release of PG Partition Manager (pg_partman) has been
released. Version 4.0.0 brings support for new native partitioning features
found in PostgreSQL 11. It also introduces the use of stored procedures to
replace some of the previous functionality that could only be accomplished
with external python scripts (Ex. efficient partitioning and unpartitioning
of large data sets).

Some other changes include:

- Redesigned required privileges so SECURITY DEFINER is no longer in use
with many of pg_partman's functions. This is the first step in removing the
superuser requirement for native partitioning all-together from this
extension in the near future.

- Automatic creation of a DEFAULT partition for PG11+ native partitioning

- New source table parameter to the partitioning functions to allow easier
partitioning of an existing table to a native partition set.

See the CHANGELOG for full details and additional bug fixes.
