IvanHunters fb7e780517 fix(postgres): reassign dropped roles' objects to an unprivileged role (#4574)
## What this PR does

Objects owned by a role the Postgres init-job drops no longer end up
owned by the `postgres` superuser. This covers a user removed from
`users` and an orphaned managed `<db>_admin` or `<db>_readonly` role.
Before dropping such a role the job reassigned everything it owned to
`postgres`, and objects a tenant role created should not become
superuser-owned.

They now go to `cozystack:orphaned`, a NOLOGIN role that is granted
nothing. The init-job creates it and resets its attributes on every run.
The `:` in the name is outside the charset allowed for user and database
names, so values cannot declare it.

There is a trade-off. Grants and memberships of the dropped role do not
carry over, so a view or function it owned that ran with its owner's
privileges can lose access it had through them. To keep such objects
working, keep the user in values or move the objects to another owner
before removing it. `docs/operations/backup-classes.md` is updated
accordingly.

Role names read from the catalog now reach SQL as psql variables instead
of being spliced in by the shell. The queries are echoed after
substitution, so the job log shows which role is dropped.

Tested with helm-unittest and by running the rendered init script
against PostgreSQL 13 and 18.

### Release note

```release-note
fix(postgres): objects owned by a user removed from `users`, or by an orphaned managed database role, are now reassigned to the unprivileged `cozystack:orphaned` role instead of the `postgres` superuser. A view or function of the removed role that ran with its owner's privileges can lose access it had through that role's grants or memberships.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Clarified that after restore, the first initialization releases
undeclared managed databases without deleting their data and removes
users not declared in the chart.
* Removed users’ objects are reassigned to a restricted, non-login role.
Grants and memberships are not preserved; functions use invoker rights,
and PostgreSQL 15+ views are set to use invoker security.
* Added guidance for finding eligible objects still owned by the
PostgreSQL superuser for manual reassignment.
* Declare a user in `users` to keep it; the chart will generate a new
password.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Removed users’ objects are reassigned across connectable, non-template
databases before their users are dropped.
