  1. Add non-text output formats to pg_dumpall

  2. Improve pg_dump/pg_dumpall help synopses and terminology

  3. Non text modes for pg_dumpall, correspondingly change pg_restore

  4. Doc: manually break lines in wide UUID examples.

Hmm, this patch adds a function connectDatabase() to pg_restore, but a
function that's almost identical already exists in pg_dumpall.  I
suggest they should be unified.  Maybe create a new file for connection
management routines? (since this clearly doesn't fit common.c nor
dumputils.c).
