tothe client because it's ereport()'d with LOG level instead of LOG_SERVER_ONLY. Is this a bug, and shouldn't we use
LOG_SERVER_ONLYlevel to log that message? Patch attached.

While we are here, I think it's enough to have the
has_function_privilege, not needed to set role regress_log_memory and
then execute the function as we already have code covering the
function above (SELECT
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts(pg_backend_pid());). Thought?

SELECT has_function_privilege('regress_log_memory',
  'pg_log_backend_memory_contexts(integer)', 'EXECUTE'); -- yes

SET ROLE regress_log_memory;
SELECT pg_log_backend_memory_contexts(pg_backend_pid());
RESET ROLE;
