Make REPLICATION privilege checks test current user not authenticated user.
The pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() functions checked the privileges of the initially-authenticated user rather than the current user, which is wrong. For example, a user-defined index function could successfully call these functions when executed by ANALYZE within autovacuum. This could allow an attacker with valid but low-privilege database access to interfere with creation of routine backups. Reported and fixed by Noah Misch. Security: CVE-2013-1901
