    doc: clarify behaviour of pg_dump's -t/--table option
    
    The existing wording gives the impression it might be possible to
    dump the contents of views, which is not possible. Also, from PostgreSQL
    13 it is possible to dump the contents of foreign tables, but this
    requires the --include-foreign-data option.
