The pg_read_all_stats check should be fine in master, since psql there
no longer supports pre-v10 servers, which don't have that role. But,
if this is backpatched, psql still needs to work with pre-v10 servers,
so we'll probably need a server version check (e.g., pset.sversion >= 100000)
before checking for pg_read_all_stats, at least in the older stable branches.
Also, should the following description of the \l+ meta-command in
the psql docs be updated?
(Size information is only available for databases that the current
user can connect to.)
