My quick review:

- It does not seem important enough to waste a short option on.
  Having only long option should be enough.

- It would be more polite to do SET LOCAL instead SET.
  (Eg. it makes safer to use pg_dump through pooler.)

- The statement_timeout is set back with "statement_timeout = default"
  Maybe it would be better to do "= 0" here?  Although such decision
  would go outside the scope of the patch, I see no sense having
  any other statement_timeout for actual dumping.
