Fix case of pg_dump -Fc to an unseekable file (such as a pipe).

This was accidentally broken in commits cfa1b4a711/5e8e794e3b.
It saves a line or so to call ftello unconditionally in _CloseArchive,
but we have to expect that it might fail if we're not in hasSeek mode.
Per report from Bernd Helmle.

In passing, improve _getFilePos to print an appropriate message if
ftello fails unexpectedly, rather than just a vague complaint about
"ftell mismatch".
