It used to be that if you had a pg_dump file without ACL checks, you
could load it as an unprivileged user. Now you get a ton of complaints
about those handy little "update pg_class" commands.

I suppose this is only a cosmetic issue, but we're going to get
questions/complaints about it... is there any way to avoid needing
those UPDATEs?
