Forbid invalid combination of options in pg_basebackup.
Commit 56c7d8d4552180fd66fe48423bb2a9bb767c2d87 allowed pg_basebackup
to stream WAL in tar mode. But there is the restriction that WAL
streaming in tar mode works only when the value - (dash) is not
specified as output directory. This means that the combination of
three options "-D -", "-F t" and "-X stream" is invalid. However,
previously, even when those options were specified at the same time,
pg_basebackup background process unexpectedly started streaming WAL.
And then it exited with an error.
This commit changes pg_basebackup so that it errors out on such
invalid combination of options at the beginning.
Reviewed by Magnus Hagander, and patch by me.
