Hi Everyone , I want to continue this thread , I have rebased the patch to latest
master and fixed an issue when pg_restore prints to file.

`
╰─$ pg_restore  dump_small.custom  --restore-blob-batch-size=2 --file=a
--
-- End BLOB restore batch
--
COMMIT;
`

Earlier idea was to not expose these options to users and use [1]
   --restore-jobs=NUM             --jobs parameter passed to pg_restore
   --restore-blob-batch-size=NUM  number of blobs restored in one xact
But this was later expanded to use --dump-options and --restore-options [2].
With --restore-options user can use --exclude-schema , 
So maybe we can go back to [1]

  1. Count individual SQL commands in pg_restore's --transaction-size mode.

  2. Reduce number of commands dumpTableSchema emits for binary upgrade.

  3. Invent --transaction-size option for pg_restore.

  4. Rearrange pg_dump's handling of large objects for better efficiency.

  5. Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints

  6. Fix typo and case in messages
