Add a new sqlc query to retrieve function-to-function dependencies from PostgreSQL's pg_depend system catalog. This query identifies functions that depend on other functions (deptype='n' for normal dependencies), which is essential for topologically sorting functions so that dependencies are created before dependents.

Replace alphabetical sorting with topological sorting in both generateCreateFunctionsSQL and generateDropFunctionsSQL. This ensures functions are ordered so dependencies come before dependents. Also fixes function dependency normalization in plan.go - the Dependencies field on ir.Function now gets normalized when replacing temporary schema names with target schema names, enabling proper dependency lookup during topological sorting. Updates test case to use SQL-standard function with DEFAULT parameter that references another function, which PostgreSQL tracks via pg_depend and is idempotent. Fixes #246 - functions that reference other functions are now ordered correctly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updates expected output files for drop_function test case to reflect the new reverse topological ordering (dependents dropped before dependencies). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This pull request fixes issue #246 where functions that reference other functions through dependencies (e.g., default parameter values) were not being dumped in the correct order, causing errors when the schema was applied.
Changes:
- Added function-to-function dependency tracking via PostgreSQL's
pg_dependsystem catalog - Implemented topological sorting for function creation and drop operations to respect dependencies
- Added test coverage for the function dependency ordering scenario
