The main one I see is AclItem, which increases from 12 bytes to 16 bytes.
AFAICT all of the catalogs that store aclitem arrays have the aclitem[]
column marked extended, so they are compressed or moved out-of-line as
needed, too.  The only other structs I've spotted that make use of AclMode
are InternalGrant and InternalDefaultACL.  I haven't identified anything
that leads me to believe there are alignment problems or anything else
comparable to the issues listed in the relfilenode thread [0], but I could
be missing something.  Did you have something else in mind you think ought
to be checked?  I'm not sure my brief analysis here suffices.
