At this point, we have one mixed-EOL case (initdb, fixable), and one \r
in data case (from 7.2). Seems the safest solution is to fix initdb and
see what other failure reports we get.
If we downgrade it to a warning, we will not know about the failures;
someone could miss a warning in a dump, but probably will not mess an
error and an empty table. If we get more reports like initdb, we can
reevaluate, but it seems the safest course is to keep our existing code,
which only removes carriage returns when it quite sure.
