Ensure pg_dump_sort.c sorts null vs non-null namespace consistently.
The original coding here (which is, I believe, my fault) supposed that
it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object
of a given type-priority has a namespace while another doesn't. But
that's not reliably true anymore, if it ever was; and if it does happen
then it's possible that DOTypeNameCompare returns self-inconsistent
comparison results. That leads to unspecified behavior in qsort()
and a resultant weird output order from pg_dump.
This should end up being only a cosmetic problem, because any ordering
constraints that actually matter should be enforced by the later
dependency-based sort. Still, it's a bug, so back-patch.
Report and fix by Jacob Champion, though I editorialized on his
patch to the extent of making NULL sort after non-NULL, for consistency
with our usual sorting definitions.
