Improve failure detection with array parsing in pg_dump
Similarly to 3636efa1, the checks done in pg_dump when parsing array values from catalogs have been too lax. Under memory pressure, it could be possible, though very unlikely, to finish with dumps that miss some data like: - Statistics for indexes - Run-time configuration of functions - Configuration of extensions - Publication list for a subscription No backpatch is done as this is not going to be a problem in practice. For example, if an OOM causes an array parsing to fail, a follow-up code path of pg_dump would most likely complain with an allocation failure due to the memory pressure.
