 * Build GRANT/REVOKE command(s) for an object.

 *  name: the object name, in the form to use in the commands (already quoted)
 *  subname: the sub-object name, if any (already quoted); NULL if none
 *  nspname: the namespace the object is in (NULL if none); not pre-quoted
 *  type: the object type (as seen in GRANT command: must be one of
 *      TABLE, SEQUENCE, FUNCTION, PROCEDURE, LANGUAGE, SCHEMA, DATABASE, TABLESPACE,
 *      FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER, SERVER, PARAMETER or LARGE OBJECT)
 *  acls: the ACL string fetched from the database
 *  baseacls: the initial ACL string for this object
 *  owner: username of object owner (will be passed through fmtId); can be
 *      NULL or empty string to indicate "no owner known"
 *  prefix: string to prefix to each generated command; typically empty
 *  remoteVersion: version of database
 *
 * Returns true if okay, false if could not parse the acl string.
 * The resulting commands (if any) are appended to the contents of 'sql'.
 *
 * baseacls is typically the result of acldefault() for the object's type
 * and owner.  However, if there is a pg_init_privs entry for the object,
 * it should instead be the initprivs ACLs.  When acls is itself a
 * pg_init_privs entry, baseacls is what to dump that relative to; then
 * it can be either an acldefault() value or an empty ACL "{}".
 *
 * Note: when processing a default ACL, prefix is "ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES "
 * or something similar, and name is an empty string.
 *
 * Note: beware of passing a fmtId() result directly as 'name' or 'subname',
 * since this routine uses fmtId() internally.
