Convert newlines to spaces in names written in pg_dump comments.

pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted
within SQL comments in its output script.  A name containing a newline
would at least render the script syntactically incorrect.  Maliciously
crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script
is reloaded.
