When and if we add LOCK or some equivalent option to COPY, I'm sure
we'll change pg_dump to specify that option in its output. But trying
to get that behavior by default for existing dumps seems to me to be
far more dangerous than it's worth. Not every performance improvement
has to automatically apply to existing dumps...
