db-dump: set sequence values when importing a database dump

By default, the import script recreates the database schema, which
includes creating new sequences with zero values. This results in the
lazy crates.io developer occasionally receiving obscure errors when
inserting records into tables that use sequences, often not on the first
or second insert due to IDs in the database dump not always being
continuous.

Rather than dumping the real sequence values from the database, we can
just recreate them based on the maximum ID in each table. Works well
enough, and means we don't have to tinker with the export script or ship
extra data.

This commit only configures the database tables that actually include
data in the database dump. There are other sequences, but since those
tables won't have data imported, it doesn't matter if they remain zero
after import.
