Can anyone point me where to look in the system catalogs (or information
schema) to determine in advance whether a given user (or the current
user) will have select permission to a given table or view?

Try has_table_privilege()

An easy way is to use the has_table_privilege() function. See also
information schema views whose names contain the word "grants" or
"privileges."
