Oh, I just noticed that this is for the *pg_restore* code, not the
pg_dump code, so there isn't necessarily a conflict with the docs.
The pg_dump code does match the docs on its version check. The
question becomes, for each supported version, what do we want to
set into AHX->minRemoteVersion before opening the connection to the
target database?  Do we really want a 9.4 executable to be
attempting to restore to a 7.1 database cluster?  What about
backpatching?
