Now that we have ALTER TYPE DROP ATTRIBUTE, pg_dump --binary-upgrade must, for
the sake of composite-typed columns, preserve the dropped-column configuration
of stand-alone composite types.  Here's a test case:

create type t as (x int, y int);
create table has_a (tcol t);
insert into has_a values ('(1,2)');
table has_a; -- (1,2)
alter type t drop attribute y cascade, add attribute z int cascade;
table has_a; -- (1,)
table has_a; -- after pg_upgrade: (1,2)

Apparently I did not fully test the last version after merging it with upstream
changes, because it did not work.  Sorry for that.  This version updates the
queries correctly and adds a test case.  A regular "make check" passes the new
test case with or without the rest of this patch.  However, a comparison of
regression database dumps before and after a pg_upgrade will reveal the problem
given this new test case.  See, for example, Peter's recent patch to have the
contrib/pg_upgrade "make check" do this.

Ok, committed.
