There is a race condition between "GRANT role" and "DROP ROLE", which allows GRANT to install pg_auth_members entries that refer to dropped roles. (Commit 6566133c5 prevented that for the grantor field, but not for the granted or grantee roles.) We'll soon fix that, at least in HEAD, but pg_dumpall needs to cope with the situation in case of pre-existing inconsistency. As pg_dumpall stands, it will emit invalid commands like 'GRANT foo TO ""', which causes pg_upgrade to fail. Fix it to emit warnings and skip those GRANTs, instead. There was some discussion of removing the problem by changing dumpRoleMembership's query to use JOIN not LEFT JOIN, but that would result in silently ignoring such entries. It seems better to produce a warning. Pre-v16 branches already coped with dangling grantor OIDs by simply omitting the GRANTED BY clause. I left that behavior as-is, although it's somewhat inconsistent with the behavior of later branches.
