Doc: document permissions required for ANALYZE.
VACUUM's reference page had this text, but ANALYZE's didn't. That's
a clear oversight given that section 5.7 explicitly delegates the
responsibility to define permissions requirements to the individual
commands' man pages.
Per gripe from Isaac Morland. Back-patch to all supported branches.
