Revert MAINTAIN privilege and pg_maintain predefined role.
This reverts the following commits: 4dbdb82513, c2122aae63, 5b1a879943, 9e1e9d6560, ff9618e82a, 60684dd834, 4441fc704d, and b5d6382496. A role with the MAINTAIN privilege may be able to use search_path tricks to escalate privileges to the table owner. Unfortunately, it is too late in the v16 development cycle to apply the proposed fix, i.e., restricting search_path when running maintenance commands. Bumps catversion.

In cases where you are accessing single rows randomly
within a table, the actual order of the data in the
table is unimportant. However, if you tend to access some
