If unexcited about the new shared catalog, one possible idea
is to add a new field to pg_database, pg_tablespace and
pg_authid to store security labels?
The reason why we had pg_seclabel is to avoid massive amount
of modifications to system catalog. But only 3 catalogs to be
modified to support security label on shared object.
