pg_dumpall: Fix handling of conflicting options.

pg_dumpall is missing checks for some conflicting options,
including those passed through to pg_dump.  To fix, introduce a
new function that checks whether mutually exclusive options are
set, and use that in pg_dumpall.  A similar change could likely be
made for pg_dump and pg_restore, but that is left as a future
exercise.

This is arguably a bug fix, but since this might break existing
scripts, no back-patch for now.
