pg_dump: Fix incorrect archive format shown in error message. In pg_dump and pg_restore, _allocAH() calls _discoverArchiveFormat() to determine the archive format when the input format is unknown one. If the input or discovered format is unrecognized, it reports an error including the archive format number.
If discovered format is unrecognized, its number should be shown in the error message. But previously the error message mistakenly showed the originally requested format number (i.e., unknown one) instead of the discovered one, due to referencing the wrong variable in the error message. This commit corrects the issue by using the appropriate variable in the error message. This fix has no practical impact since _discoverArchiveFormat() never returns an unrecognized format and that error mesasge is actually never output. Therefore, while the issue exists in back branches, it's not worth the trouble and buildfarm cycles to back-patch. So this fix is applied only to the master branch.
