Improve pg_dump/pg_dumpall help synopses and terminology

Improve pg_dump/pg_dumpall help synopses and terminology Increase consistency of --help and man page synopses between pg_dump and pg_dumpall. These should now be very similar, as pg_dumpall can now also produce non-text dump output. But actually, they had drifted further apart. - Use verb "export" consistently, instead of "dump" or "extract". - Use "SQL script" instead of just "script" or "text file". - Maintain consistent distinction between SQL script and other formats/archives (which is relevant for pg_restore).
