Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used to
emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE commands. The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was never a very good idea anyway IMHO. The DROP ROLE approach has the defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.
