Fix pg_dump to not emit invalid SQL for an empty operator class.

If an operator class has no operators or functions, and doesn't need
a STORAGE clause, we emitted "CREATE OPERATOR CLASS ... AS ;" which
is syntactically invalid.  Fix by forcing a STORAGE clause to be
emitted anyway in this case.

(At some point we might consider changing the grammar to allow CREATE
OPERATOR CLASS without an opclass_item_list.  But probably we'd want to
omit the AS in that case, so that wouldn't fix this pg_dump issue anyway.)

It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Daniel Gustafsson, tweaked by me to avoid a dangling-pointer bug
