Before 7.3, foreign key constraints had no explicit catalog representation, so that what pg_dump produced for them was (usually) a set of three CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER commands. Commit a2899ebd and some follow-on fixes added an ugly hack in CreateTrigger() to recognize that pattern and reconstruct the foreign key definition. However, we've never had any test coverage for that code, so that it's legitimate to wonder if it still works; and having to maintain it in the face of upcoming trigger-related patches seems rather pointless. Let's decree that its time has passed, and drop it. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.
