I've hung the drop database conflict code in dbase_redo().

For drop role, there isn't an rmgr at all, but I can add code in a few
places.

* add XLOG_DBASE_DROP_USER - i.e. add drop user to the Database rmgr

* DropRole() takes an AccessExclusiveLock, so we do write a WAL record
for it. I could add a special case to the Relation rmgr.

* Add a new rmgr (unused slot 7) and have it handle DropRole.

I prefer the last one, but if you think otherwise, please shout.
