doc: Remove reference to pre-8.2 pg_dump behaviour

The behavioural change in the -t/--table option happened around 15 years
ago and there seems little point in keeping it around.

-         like <literal>-t sch.tab</literal> to select a table in a particular schema,
-         rather than the old locution of <literal>-n sch -t tab</literal>.
