Doc: clarify behavior of back-half options in pg_dump.
Options that change how the archive data is converted to SQL text are ignored when dumping to archive formats. The documentation previously said "not meaningful", which is not helpful. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/161052021249.12228.9598689907884726185@wrigleys.postgresql.org
