Use binary search instead of brute-force scan in findNamespace().
The previous coding presented a significant bottleneck when dumping
databases containing many thousands of schemas, since the total time
spent searching would increase roughly as O(N^2) in the number of objects.
Noted by Jeff Janes, though I rewrote his proposed patch to use the
existing findObjectByOid infrastructure.
Since this is a longstanding performance bug, backpatch to all supported
versions.
