In the past, having columnar tables in the cluster was causing pg
upgrades to fail when attempting to access columnar metadata. This is
because, pg_dump doesn't see objects that we use for columnar-am related
booking as the dependencies of the tables using columnar-am.
To fix that; in #5456, we inserted some "normal dependency" edges (from
those objects to columnar-am) into pg_depend.
This helped us ensuring the existency of a class of metadata objects
--such as columnar.storageid_seq-- and helped fixing #5437.
However, the normal-dependency edges that we added for indexes on
columnar metadata tables --such columnar.stripe_pkey-- didn't help at
all because they were indeed causing dependency loops (#5510) and
pg_dump was not able to take those dependency edges into the account.
For this reason, this commit deletes those dependency edges so that
pg_dump stops complaining about them. Note that it's not critical to
delete those edges from pg_depend since they're not breaking pg upgrades
but were triggering some warning messages. And given that backporting
a sql change into older versions is hard a lot, we skip backporting
this.
