Hm.  What this suggests is that you're using a pg_dump that is newer than
the server that you're trying to restore to.  The "AS datatype" clause
in CREATE SEQUENCE is new in v10.

The general rule for pg_dump version choice is "use the newest version you
can, but not newer than the server you're going to restore to".  Otherwise
you run into problems like this of the dump containing syntax the target
server doesn't understand.
