If we add support for restrictive policies, it would be possible, and
I think desirable, to report on which policy was violated. For that,
having the policy name would be handy. We might also arguably decide
to enforce restrictive RLS policies in name order, like check
constraints. Of course none of that means it must be kept now, but it
feels like a useful field to keep nonetheless.
