[BUGS] BUG #14817: pg_dumpall is not generating create database statements

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      14817
Logged by:          Alexander Scott
Email address:      alex@yuscott.co.uk
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.5
Operating system:   CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
Description:

I have a fresh install of 9.6.5 with a default postgres database.

I have REVOKED ALL FROM public, created a couple of roles and 1 initial
user.

I wanted to take a dump of the entire cluster to store but the output file
lacks create statements for the databases.  It happily dumps the contents,
and even grant privileges to roles at DB level (CREATE and TEMP).

I literally call with no parameters.
Output is as follows

--
-- PostgreSQL database cluster dump
--

SET default_transaction_read_only = off;

SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';
SET standard_conforming_strings = on;

--
-- Roles
--

CREATE ROLE basic_user;
ALTER ROLE basic_user WITH NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB
NOLOGIN NOREPLICATION NOBYPASSRLS;
CREATE ROLE developer;
ALTER ROLE developer WITH NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB
NOLOGIN NOREPLICATION NOBYPASSRLS;
CREATE ROLE manager;
ALTER ROLE manager WITH NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB NOLOGIN
NOREPLICATION NOBYPASSRLS;
CREATE ROLE postgres;
ALTER ROLE postgres WITH SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEROLE CREATEDB LOGIN
REPLICATION BYPASSRLS PASSWORD '<password>';
CREATE ROLE initial_user;
ALTER ROLE initial_userWITH NOSUPERUSER NOINHERIT NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB
