Add -d option to pg_dumpall, for specifying a connection string.

Browse Source 
Like with pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog, it's a bit strange to call the
option -d/--dbname, when in fact you cannot pass a database name in it.

Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.

The following command-line options control the database connection parameters.

Specifies parameters used to connect to the server, as a connection
string. See <xref linkend="libpq-connstring"> for more information.

The option is called <literal>--dbname</> for consistency with other
client applications, but because <application>pg_dumpall</application>
needs to connect to many databases, database name in the connection
string will be ignored. Use <literal>-l</literal> option to specify
the name of the database used to dump global objects and to discover
what other databases should be dumped.
