Description:
According to the manual:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqlpump.html

"mysqlpump supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the [mysqlpump] and [client] groups of an option file."

However, it doesn't read [mysqlpump] group, but reads [mysql_dump] group. IMHO, the behavior written in the manual should be right. Using [mysql_dump] group is confusing.

How to repeat:
shell> mysqlpump --help | grep 'following groups'
The following groups are read: client mysql_dump

Suggested fix:
diff --git a/client/dump/program.cc b/client/dump/program.cc
index e348ee5b7dd..9b1326f116a 100644
