Hello!
I wrote some tests(it's just 01_rep_changes.pl but for non superuser) and fix `DROP TABLE` from subscription. Now old and new tests pass.

>>>   Hi!
>>>   In order to support create subscription from non-superuser, we need to make it possible to choose tables on the subscriber side:
>>>       1. add `FOR TABLE` clause in `CREATE SUBSCRIPTION`:
>>>          ```
>>>           CREATE SUBSCRIPTION subscription_name
>>>               CONNECTION 'conninfo'
>>>               PUBLICATION publication_name [, ...]
>>>               [ FOR TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [, ...]| FOR ALL TABLES ]
>>>               [ WITH ( subscription_parameter [= value] [, ... ] ) ]
>>>          ```
>>>          ... where `FOR ALL TABLES` is only allowed for superuser.
>>>          and table list in `FOR TABLES` clause will be stored in pg_subscription_rel table (maybe another place?)
>>>
>>>       2. Each subscription should have "all tables" attribute.
>>>          For example via a new column in pg_subscription "suballtables".
>>>
>>>       3. Add `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION (ADD TABLE | DROP TABLE)`:
>>>          ```
>>>           ALTER SUBSCRIPTION subscription_name ADD TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [WITH copy_data];
>>>           ALTER SUBSCRIPTION subscription_name DROP TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name;
>>>          ```
>>>       4. On `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION <name> REFRESH PUBLICATION` should check if table owner equals subscription owner. The check is ommited if subscription owner is superuser.
>>>       5. If superuser calls `ALTER SUBSCRIPTION REFRESH PUBLICATION` on subscription with table list and non-superuser owner, we should filter tables which owner is not subscription's owner or maybe we need to raise error?
>>>
>>>   What do you think about it? Any objections?
