Stephen Frost 31a8b77a92 Improve pg_dump regression tests and code coverage
These improvements bring the lines-of-code coverage of pg_dump.c up to
87.7% (at least using LCOV 1.12, 1.11 seems to differ slightly).  Nearly
every function is covered, three of the four which aren't are only
called when talking to older PG instances.

There is more which can, and should, be done here to improve the
coverage but it's past time to see what the buildfarm thinks of this.

What has been added:

- Coverage for many more command-line options
- Use command_fails_like instead of command_exit_is
- Operator classes, operator families
- Text search configuration, templates, parsers, dictionaries
- FDWs, servers, foreign tables
- Materialized views
- Improved Publications / Subscriptions test (though this needs work,
  see PG10 open items and tests marked with XXX in 002_pg_dump.pl)
- Unlogged tables
- Partitioned tables
- Additional ACL testing for various object types

There is room for improvement, specifically:

- Various type-based option (alignment, storage, etc)
- Composite type collation
- Extra Procedural language functions (inline, validator)
- Different function options (SRF, Transform, config, security definer,
  cost, leakproof)
- OpClass options (default, storage, order by, recheck)
- OpFamily options (order by, recheck)
- Aggregate functions (combinefunc, serialfunc, deserialfunc, etc)
- Text Search parser 'headline'
- Text Search template 'init'
- FDW options (handler, validator, options)
- Server options (type, version, options)
- User mapping options
- Default ACLs for sequences, types
- Security labels
- View circular dependencies (last function that needs coverage)
- Toast table autovacuum options
- Replica identity options
- Independent indexes (plus marking them as clustered on)
- Deferrable / initially deferred constraints
- Independent domain constraints

There's bits of extension pg_dump'ing also not covered, but those will
need to go into test_pg_dump (such as having a filter for config
tables).

Last, but not least, this approximately halves the number of tests run
with 'ok()' by removing the ok()-based checking of if all runs are
covered by each test.  Instead, 002_pg_dump.pl will just exit out in
such a case (with a message in the log file).  In general, when adding
tests, cover all runs unless there is a very good reason not to (such as
adding a 'catch-all' case).  With these changes, the resulting output
and number of "tests" run is actually reduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
