Change pg_restore -f- to dump to stdout instead of to ./- Starting with PostgreSQL 12, pg_restore refuses to run when neither -d nor -f are specified (c.f. commit 413ccaa74d9a), and it also makes "-f -" mean the old implicit behavior of dumping to stdout. However, older branches write to a file called ./- when invoked like that, making it impossible to write pg_restore scripts that work across versions. This is a partial backpatch of the aforementioned commit to all older supported branches, providing an upgrade path.
