Clarify pg_dump -b documentation

The documentation around the -b/--blobs option to pg_dump seemed to
imply that it might be possible to add blobs to a "schema-only" dump or
similar.  Clarify that blobs are data and therefore will only be
included in dumps where data is being included, even when -b is used to
request blobs be included.

The -b option has been around since before 9.2, so back-patch to all
supported branches.
