Creation of FOR ALL TABLES publications requires superuser privileges.
See following code in CreatePublication()

---
/* FOR ALL TABLES and FOR ALL SEQUENCES requires superuser */
if (!superuser())
{
if (stmt->for_all_tables || stmt->for_all_sequences)
ereport(ERROR,
errcode(ERRCODE_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGE),
errmsg("must be superuser to create a FOR ALL TABLES or ALL SEQUENCES
publication"));
}
---

Similarly, won't altering them also require the superuser privilege? I
don't see the corresponding code in the patch.
