OK, I'll try to start implementing the feature again.

However, the toggle of row-level security feature should be controled
via a GUC option, not a discretionary option.
I'll add a "sepostgresql_row_level" option defined as bool to control
it on start up time.

In addition, please do not stop reviewing the current patch set
due to lack of the feature to disable row-level security.
