We can go back to having a pg_checkpoint predefined role that is only
used for the CHECKPOINT command.

The only real argument against that was a general sense of clutter, but
I wasn't entirely convinced of that. If we have a specialized command,
we have all kinds of clutter associated with that; a predefined role
doesn't add much additional clutter.
