I was checking some loose ends in SQL conformance, when I noticed: We
support GRANT role ... GRANTED BY CURRENT_USER, but we don't support
CURRENT_ROLE in that place, even though in PostgreSQL they are
equivalent. Here is a trivial patch to add that.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Allow CURRENT_ROLE in GRANTED BY
This is specified in the SQL standard. Since in PostgreSQL,
CURRENT_ROLE is equivalent to CURRENT_USER, and CURRENT_USER is
already supported here, adding CURRENT_ROLE is trivial.
