Attached is a simple one-line fix. Attached is a simple one-line fix. I did not 
add a new test, as we usually try to avoid extending the test time for such a 
small fix. With the fix, the error message now looks like:
```
evantest=> select * from pg_get_tablespace_ddl('ts1');
ERROR:  permission denied for table pg_tablespace
```

A few comments:

== hardcoded table name ==

Hardcoding "pg_tablespace" looks IMO a bit fragile. What about
get_rel_name(TableSpaceRelationId) instead?

See get_database_name(dbid) in pg_get_database_ddl_internal().

== similar issue in pg_get_role_ddl_internal ==

If we do this change, we should also address pg_authid to keep the code consistent:

/* User must have SELECT privilege on pg_authid. */
if (pg_class_aclcheck(AuthIdRelationId, GetUserId(), ACL_SELECT) != ACLCHECK_OK)
{
  ReleaseSysCache(tuple);
  ereport(ERROR,
  (errcode(ERRCODE_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGE),
        errmsg("permission denied for role %s", rolname)));
}

Perhaps something like this instead of the ereport:

aclcheck_error(ACLCHECK_NO_PRIV, OBJECT_TABLE, get_rel_name(AuthIdRelationId));

Thanks!

Best, Jim
