Add pg_dump -X no-data-for-failed-tables option to suppress loading data

if table creation failed (the table already exists).

+       By default, table data objects are restored even if the
+       associated table could not be successfully created (e. g.
+       because it already exists). With this option, such table
+       data is silently ignored. This is useful for dumping and

+       for PostgreSQL extensions (e. g. PostGIS).
