This commit removes log_cnt from the tuple returned by the SQL function. This field is an internal counter that tracks when a WAL record should be generated for a sequence, and it is reset each time the sequence is restored or recovered. It is not necessary to rebuild the sequence DDL commands for pg_dump and pg_upgrade where this function is used. The field can still be queried with a scan of the "table" created under-the-hood for a sequence. Issue noticed while hacking on a feature that can rely on this new function rather than pg_sequence_last_value(), aimed at making sequence computation more easily pluggable. Bump catalog version.
