pg_dump doesn't properly honor -O for sequences

Specifically this is with SERIAL sequences, which are dumped using the
ALTER SEQUENCE syntax (as of 8.2). Normal sequences are dumped using the
ALTER TABLE ... OWNER TO syntax, which properly honors -O.

Sorry for the noise. I misinterpreted the meaning of OWNED BY to mean
the user who owns, not the table who owns.

Why should it? That's not ownership in the same sense.

I sent a retraction of the bug report quickly afterward. My apologies.
