Set security_invoker = true on generated views so that Row-Level Security policies on backing tables are evaluated as the querying user, not the view owner. Without this, RLS is silently bypassed when queries go through the view. This is safe for all deployments: when RLS is not enabled on the backing table, security_invoker has no effect. Backing tables are standard PostgreSQL tables (not hypertables), so RLS is fully supported on all data tables.

This PR provides support for RLS for views with Postgres backing tables.

Although RLS is not strictly supported, this seemed like a freebie to maintain implicit support for it. I know that the spec says Postgres 12+ support, but I believe there is some code that already sets the floor at 15+ in practice, specifically:
NULLS NOT DISTINCT
