The main complain I received about this move of the pg_upgrade tests to
be a TAP one is that they don't support easily cross-major version
upgrades, removing some abilities to what a developer or the builfarm
can actually do. Making this possible would require first some
refactoring of PostgresNode.pm so as a node is aware of the binary paths
it uses to be able to manipulate multiple instances with different
install paths at the same time.
