Handle unqualified SEQUENCE NAME options properly in parse_utilcmd.c.
generateSerialExtraStmts() was sloppy about handling the case where SEQUENCE NAME is given with a not-schema-qualified name. It was generating a CreateSeqStmt with an unqualified sequence name, and an AlterSeqStmt whose "owned_by" DefElem contained a T_String Value with a null string pointer in the schema-name position. The generated nextval() argument was also underqualified. This accidentally failed to fail at runtime, but only so long as the current default creation namespace at runtime is the right namespace. That's bogus; the parse-time transformation is supposed to be inserting the right schema name in all cases, so as to avoid any possible skew in that selection. I'm not sure this could fail in pg_dump's usage, but it's still wrong; we have had real bugs in this area before adopting the policy that parse_utilcmd.c should generate only fully-qualified auxiliary commands. A slightly lesser problem, which is what led me to notice this in the first place, is that pprint() dumped core on the AlterSeqStmt because of the bogus T_String. Noted while poking into the open problem with ALTER SEQUENCE breaking pg_upgrade.
