psql: Allow pg_read_all_stats to see database size in \l+
pg_database_size() allows access to users who have either CONNECT
privilege on the target database or privileges of the pg_read_all_stats
role. However, previously, psql's \l+ checked only for CONNECT,
so users with privileges of pg_read_all_stats still saw "No Access" for
databases they could not connect to.
Fix this by making \l+ also check
pg_has_role('pg_read_all_stats', 'USAGE'), matching
pg_database_size()'s permission rules.
For back branches, emit the pg_read_all_stats check only when
connected to PostgreSQL 10 or later, since earlier releases do not have
that predefined role.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
