Remove pg_dump/pg_dumpall support for dumping from pre-9.2 servers.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Remove pg_dump/pg_dumpall support for dumping from pre-9.2 servers. Per discussion, we'll limit support for old servers to those branches that can still be built easily on modern platforms, which as of now is 9.2 and up. Remove over a thousand lines of code dedicated to dumping from older server versions. (As in previous changes of this sort, we aren't removing pg_restore's ability to read older archive files ... though it's fair to wonder how that might be tested nowadays.) This cleans up some dead code left behind by commit 989596152. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2923349.1634942313@sss.pgh.pa.us
