Add -D option to specify data directory to pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog.

It was confusing that to other commands, like initdb and postgres, you would
pass the data directory with "-D datadir", but pg_controldata and
pg_resetxlog would take just plain path, without the "-D". With this patch,
pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog also accept "-D datadir".
