When there is a backup_manifest in the database cluster, it's included in
the backup even when --no-manifest is specified. ISTM that this is problematic
because the backup_manifest is obviously not valid for the backup.
So, isn't it better to always exclude the *existing* backup_manifest in the
cluster from the backup, like backup_label/tablespace_map? Patch attached.
Also I found the typo in the document. Patch attached.
