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).
