Fix sscanf limits in pg_basebackup and pg_dump
Make sure that the string parsing is limited by the size of the destination buffer. In pg_basebackup the available values sent from the server is limited to two characters so there was no risk of overflow. In pg_dump the buffer is bounded by MAXPGPATH, and thus the limit must be inserted via preprocessor expansion and the buffer increased by one to account for the terminator. There is no risk of overflow here, since in this case, the buffer scanned is smaller than the destination buffer. Backpatch the pg_basebackup fix to 11 where it was introduced, and the pg_dump fix all the way down to 9.6.
