[check_postgres] Super user role

[Norman Wong]

Thanks for producing this great module.  I'd like to suggest a small addition.

In our organization we do not grant superuser to any login roles.  There is a group role with superuser authority.  Superuser privilege cannot be inherited.  The login roles in this group must explicitly set the role to the superuser group to elevate their privileges.

There are a number of checks within check_postgres.pl that require superuser privilege.  Would it be possible to have a parameter where we can pass the superuser group role (e.g. -role )?

Thanks,
