8272749e8c Record dependencies of a cast on other casts that it requires.
When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've
historically allowed the input and result types to be
binary-compatible with the function's input and result types,
rather than necessarily being identical.  This means that the new
cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts
that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you
try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail.
Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies
so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement.

This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate
functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain
similar dependencies.  However, for now it seems sufficient to fix
the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics
should keep it out of trouble for other object types.

Per report from David Turoň; thanks also to Robert Haas for
preliminary investigation.  I considered back-patching, but
seeing that this issue has existed for many years without
previous reports, it's not clear it's worth the trouble.
Moreover, back-patching wouldn't be enough to ensure that the
new pg_depend entries exist in existing databases anyway.

465d7e1882 Make CREATE TYPE print warnings if a datatype's I/O functions are volatile.
This is a followup to commit 43ac12c6e6,
which added regression tests checking that I/O functions of built-in
types are not marked volatile.  Complaining in CREATE TYPE should push
developers of add-on types to fix any misdeclared functions in their
types.  It's just a warning not an error, to avoid creating upgrade
problems for what might be just cosmetic mis-markings.

Aside from adding the warning code, fix a number of types that were
sloppily created in the regression tests.
