Michael Paquier 6fb66c268d doc: Clarify how to generate backup files with non-exclusive backups
The current instructions describing how to write the backup_label and
tablespace_map files are confusing.  For example, opening a file in text
mode on Windows and copy-pasting the file's contents would result in a
failure at recovery because of the extra CRLF characters generated.  The
documentation was not stating that clearly, and per discussion this is
not considered as a supported scenario.

This commit extends a bit the documentation to mention that it may be
required to open the file in binary mode before writing its data.
