Changed the logic when a CAST is dumped according to discussion

Jan Wieck · Jan Wieck · commit a6790ce85752 · 2003-09-27T15:34:06.000Z
on pgsql-hackers.

A cast is included in the dump output if any of the objects does
not belong to a system namespace and all of the non-system namespace
objects belong to dumped namespaces. System namespace is defined
as nspname begins with "pg_".
