Subject: [PATCH v1] Catalog NOT NULL constraints

We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with
contype='n'.

The main difference to commit e056c557aef4 (later reverted) is that we
now force existence of an explicit NOT NULL constraint under every
primary key constraint.  Such constraints cannot be removed while the PK
still exists.  This simplifies some things considerably, particularly
pg_dump.

+ * There are three possibilities:

+ * 2) The column has a regular constraint with no name (this is the case when
+ *    constraints come from pre-18 servers).  In this case, ->notnull_constrs
+ *    is set to the empty string; dumpTableSchema will print just "NOT NULL".
+ * 3) The column has a regular constraint with a known name; in that case
+ *    notnull_constrs carries that name and dumpTableSchema will print
+ *    "CONSTRAINT the_name NOT NULL".  However, if the name is the default
+ *    (table_column_not_null), there's no need to print that name in the dump,
+ *    so notnull_constrs is set to the empty string and it behaves as the case
+ *    above.

+ * In a child table that inherits from a parent already containing NOT NULL

+ * parent.  This is tracked in ->notnull_inh (which is set in flagInhAttrs for
+ * servers pre-18).
+ *
+ * Any of these constraints might have the NO INHERIT bit.  If so we set
+ * ->notnull_noinh and NO INHERIT will be printed by dumpTableSchema.
+ *
+ * In case 3 above, the name comparison is a bit of a hack; it actually fails
+ * to do the right thing in all but the trivial case.  However, the downside
