Looks good to me overall, I just had a couple questions/comments:

isObjectPinned and isSharedObjectPinned are now thin wrappers around
IsPinnedObject. Is keeping those functions a matter of future-proofing in
case something needs to be handled differently someday, or reducing
unnecessary code churn?

setup_depend now doesn't really need to execute any SQL (unless third-party
forks have extra steps here?), and could be replaced with a direct call
to StopGeneratingPinnedObjectIds. That's a bit more self-documenting, and
that would allow shortening this comment:

/*
* Note that no objects created after setup_depend() will be "pinned".
* They are all droppable at the whim of the DBA.
*/
