Still i feel the GRANT statements should be present, as the create

The attached patch does the job fine. However, I am a little skeptical about this addition, since, it is clearly mentioned in the documentation of pg_dump that it would not restore global objects, then why expecting this. This addditon makes pg_dump -C somewhat special as now it is restoring these grant statements. Only if we consider the popular method of dump-restore mentioned in the thread (https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/E1VYMqi-0001P4-P4%40wrigleys.postgresql.org) with pg_dumpall -g and then individual pg_dump, then it would be helpful to have this patch.
