pg_dump: Fix ArchiveEntry handling of some empty values
Commit f831d4acc changed what pg_dump emits for some empty fields: they
were output as empty strings before, NULL pointer afterwards. That
makes old pg_restore unable to work (crash) with such files, which is
unacceptable. Return to the original representation by explicitly
setting those struct members to "" where needed; remove some no longer
needed checks for NULL input.
We can declutter the code a little by returning to NULLs when we next
update the archive version, so add a note to remind us later.
