This ended up being easier than I expected.  While unlogged sequences are
only supported on v15 and above, temporary sequences have been around since
v7.2, so this will probably need to be back-patched to all supported
versions.  The added test case won't work for v12-v14 since it uses an
unlogged sequence.  I'm not sure it's worth constructing a test case for
temporary sequences.
