I think the existing way of pg_waldump getting stuck with the
combination of options  "-s/-f/-z" and "-s/-e/-f/-z" doesn't look good
for an end user. In the simplest way, the pg_waldump can just emit an
error for these combinations. That shouldn't a big problem as we do
emit errors for a lot of mutually exclusive combination of options
other SQL statements/commands.
