In pg_dump, dump SEQUENCE SET items in the data not pre-data section.

Represent a sequence's current value as a separate TableDataInfo dumpable
object, so that it can be dumped within the data section of the archive
rather than in pre-data.  This fixes an undesirable inconsistency between
the meanings of "--data-only" and "--section=data", and also fixes dumping
of sequences that are marked as extension configuration tables, as per a
report from Marko Kreen back in July.  The main cost is that we do one more
SQL query per sequence, but that's probably not very meaningful in most
databases.

Back-patch to 9.1, since it has the extension configuration issue even
though not the --section switch.
