Another pointlessly repetitive query is in getTriggers, which we run
once per table to be dumped containing triggers.  We could reduce that
by running it in bulk for many relations at a time.  I suppose it's
normally not hurtful, but as we grow the number of partitions we allow
it's going to become a problem.

No patch from me for now — if someone wantw to volunteer one, it looks
simple enough ...
