0036089: exclude from updates all DB objects created by extensions

Description

Even all functions starting with PG_ are excluded by export/update database task, there are some other PostrgreSQL extensions that add DB objects starting with a different prefix.

This forces to create ad-hoc exclude filters for each of the installed extensions.

Steps To Reproduce

1. install pgstattuple extension [1]
2. execute update.database
-> log contains errors

[1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgstattuple.html [^]

Proposed Solution

Exclude DB objects created by extensions, not defining exclude filters but checking in PG catalog whether they are user or extension objects.

tip: check if this query covers all cases

SELECT ext.extname, ext.extnamespace, ext.extrelocatable, pg_catalog.pg_describe_object(dep.classid, dep.objid, 0) AS "Object Description"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_depend dep JOIN pg_catalog.pg_extension ext on dep.refobjid = ext.oid
WHERE dep.refclassid = 'pg_catalog.pg_extension'::pg_catalog.regclass AND dep.deptype = 'e'
ORDER BY 1;
