pg_depend

I have found that many TODO items would benefit from a pg_depend table
that tracks object dependencies. TODO updated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEPENDENCY CHECKING / pg_depend

* Auto-destroy sequence on DROP of table with SERIAL, perhaps with a
separate SERIAL type
* Prevent column dropping if column is used by foreign key
* Propagate column or table renaming to foreign key constraints
* Automatically drop constraints/functions when object is dropped
* Make constraints clearer in dump file
* Make foreign keys easier to identify
