The hard part in this might be getting pg_restore to know that the sequence
is part of the table definition; perhaps it is adequate to use the 'deps'
field.

I think it is currently unused for SEQUENCE (and SEQUENCE SET) entries, so
we could assume that if it is set, the sequence is logically part of a
table. You could set the deps to the table OID, then the restore operation
(_tocEntryRequired) could scan the TOC for a matching table, and see if the
matching table is being restored (ie. _tocEntryRequired would, in the case
of 'SEQUENCE' and 'SEQUENCE SET' entries, scan the entire TOC for the
matching table then call itself recursively on the table entry.
