Add testing to detect errors of omission in "pin" dependency creation.
It's essential that initdb.c's setup_depend() scan each system catalog that could contain objects that need to have "p" (pin) entries in pg_depend or pg_shdepend. Forgetting to add that, either when a catalog is first invented or when it first acquires DATA() entries, is an obvious bug hazard. We can detect such omissions at reasonable cost by probing every OID-containing system catalog to see whether the lowest-numbered OID in it is pinned. If so, the catalog must have been properly accounted for in setup_depend(). If the lowest OID is above FirstNormalObjectId then the catalog must have been empty at the end of initdb, so it doesn't matter. There are a small number of catalogs whose first entry is made later in initdb than setup_depend(), resulting in nonempty expected output of the test, but these can be manually inspected to see that they are OK. Any future mistake of this ilk will manifest as a new entry in the test's output. Since pg_conversion is already in the test's output, add it to the set of catalogs scanned by setup_depend(). That has no effect today (hence, no catversion bump here) but it will protect us if we ever do add pin-worthy conversions. This test is very much like the catalog sanity checks embodied in opr_sanity.sql and type_sanity.sql, but testing pg_depend doesn't seem to fit naturally into either of those scripts' charters. Hence, invent a new test script misc_sanity.sql, which can be a home for this as well as tests on any other catalogs we might want in future.
