Woops, I only just saw this. I don't mind if you want to change the
calls to is_member_of_role() in basebackup_server.c and
basebackup_to_shell.c to has_privs_of_role(). However, it's not clear
to me why it's different than the calls we have in other places, like
calculate_database_size() and the relatively widely-used
check_is_member_of_role(). As long as we have a bunch of different
practices in different parts of the code base I can't see people
getting this right consistently ... leaving aside any possible
disagreement about which way is "right".
