It would be kind of neat if we had a command that would force all
previously-asynchronous commits to complete.  It seems likely that
very, very few people would care about intermediate pg_dump states, so
we could do the whole dump asynchronously and then do "FORCE ALL
COMMITS;" or whatever at the end.
