Right now, we test
=ANY(ARRAY['array_remove(anyarray,anyelement)',...]::regprocedure)

..which will find the system's array_remove, and not some other one, due to
ALWAYS_SECURE_SEARCH_PATH_SQL (which is also why ::regprocedure prints a
namespace for the non-system functions we're interested in displaying).

I had "transnsp.nspname='pg_catalog'", which was redundant, so I removed it.

I tested that this allows upgrades with aggregates on top of non-system
functions of the same name/args:

postgres=# CREATE FUNCTION array_append(anyarray, anyelement) RETURNS ANYARRAY LANGUAGE SQL AS $$ $$;
postgres=# CREATE AGGREGATE foo(anyelement) (sfunc=public.array_append, stype=anyarray, initcond='{}');

Nope, it's as I said: this would break pg_upgrade from older versions.

This fixes several error with the version test.
