pg_dump: Allow dumping data of specific foreign servers

The new command-line switch --include-foreign-data=PATTERN lets the user
specify foreign servers from which to dump foreign table data. This can
be refined by further inclusion/exclusion switches, so that the user has
full control over which tables to dump.

A limitation is that this doesn't work in combination with parallel
dumps, for implementation reasons. This might be lifted in the future,
but requires shuffling some code around.
