Commit
bde2fb797aa added the --with-schema, --with-data, and --with-statistics
options to pg_restore. These options control whether to restore schema, data,
or statistics if present in the archive. However, the help message and
documentation incorrectly described them as affecting what gets dumped.
This commit corrects those descriptions to clarify that the options control
restoration, not dumping.
