Back-patch portions of commit 05b555d12b.
There doesn't seem to be any reason not to fix pg_basebackup fully, but
we can't change pg_dump's "magic" string without breaking older versions
of pg_restore. Instead, just patch pg_restore to accept either version
of the magic string, in hopes of avoiding compatibility problems when
9.3 comes out. I also fixed pg_dump to write the correct 2-block EOF
marker, since that won't create a compatibility problem with pg_restore
and it could help with some versions of tar.
