When dropping objects (functions, tables, etc.) that have explicit privileges granted, REVOKE statements must execute before DROP statements. Previously, REVOKEs were emitted after DROPs, causing failures because the object no longer exists. Reorder generateDropSQL() to emit privilege revocations first, then object drops.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes a critical bug in the DDL generation where REVOKE statements were being emitted after DROP statements, causing REVOKE operations to fail because the objects they reference no longer existed. The fix reorders the generateDropSQL() function to emit all privilege revocations before any object drops.
Changes:
- Reordered privilege revocation calls to execute before object drops in
generateDropSQL() - Extended drop_function test case to include a function with GRANT EXECUTE privilege to verify the fix
- Updated test expectations to reflect the new ordering

When dropping objects (functions, tables, etc.) that have explicit privileges granted, pgschema generated:
