I've mentioned a few times that I'm working on improving pg_dump
regression tests and code coverage, which is what these were.  I'm a bit
surprised that it's, apparently, a surprise to anyone or that strictly
adding regression tests in the existing framework deserves very much
discussion.

What I think would be great would be some additional work on our code
coverage, which is abysmal.  This, at least, gets us up over 80% for
src/bin/pg_dump, but there's still quite a bit of work to be done there,
as noted in the commit message, and lots of opportunity for improvement
throughout the rest of the code base, as https://coverage.postgresql.org
shows.

Thanks!
