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.
