#5982: CREATE EXTENSION POSTGIS must be done as SUPERUSER
--------------------------+---------------------------

Comment (by pramsey):
I am pretty sure Aurora Pg allows PostGIS to be run, the docs certainly
seem to say so
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Appendix.PostgreSQL.CommonDBATasks.PostGIS.html
Like most C extensions, we are not marking ourselves as a "trusted"
extension suitable for installation by non-superusers. It's possible
that's how Aurora is doing it (marking their copy trusted, since it's
their copy).
