Non plperl GRANTed people could modify the global $_SHARED variable.
Currently anyone that can make a plperl function can do anything they
want with $_SHARED.  So In my mind disallowing them to set
plperl.plperl_safe_init would make the permission model of $_SHARED
consistent.  No?  Now im not saying its a good permission model...
