Tomas Vondra 8d48e6a724 Improve the check for pg_catalog.line data type in pg_upgrade
The pg_upgrade check for pg_catalog.line data type when upgrading from
9.3 had a couple of issues with domains and composite types. Firstly, it
triggered false positives for composite types unused in objects with
storage. This was enough to trigger an unnecessary pg_upgrade failure:

  CREATE TYPE line_composite AS (l pg_catalog.line)

On the other hand, this only happened with composite types directly on
the pg_catalog.line data type, but not with a domain. So this was not
detected

  CREATE DOMAIN line_domain AS pg_catalog.line;
  CREATE TYPE line_composite_2 AS (l line_domain);

unlike the first example. These false positives and inconsistencies are
unfortunate, but what's worse we've failed to detected objects using the
pg_catalog.line data type through a domain. So we missed cases like this

  CREATE TABLE t (l line_composite_2);

The consequence is clusters broken after a pg_upgrade.

This fixes these false positives and false negatives by using the same
recursive CTE introduced by eaf900e842 for sql_identifier. 9.3 did not
support domains on composite types, but we can still have multi-level
composite types.

Backpatch all the way to 9.4, where the format for pg_catalog.line data
type changed.

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:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
