Doc: document more incompatible pg_restore option pairs.

Most of the pairs of incompatible options (such as --file and --dbname)
are pretty obvious and need no explanation.  But it may not be obvious
that --single-transaction cannot be used together with --create or
multiple jobs, so let's mention that in the documentation.
