Note, I still suggest that postgis30 and postgis31 should *both* be built for
postgres13 and (at least) postgres12.

I've done a couple test upgrades from pg12 to 13, some using pg_dump/restore,
some using pg_upgrade. In both cases, I first had to do:

|DROP AGGREGATE st_union(geometry);
|DROP FUNCTION pgis_geometry_union_transfn;

I guess postgis30 and 31 are "compatible enough" that I was able to restore a
postgis30 DB into a DB with only postgis31 available.

Normally, I'd have to do a "rolling upgrade", either:
(pg12+gis30) => (pg12+gis31) => (pg13+gis31), or:
(pg12+gis30) => (pg13+gis30) => (pg13+gis31).

I guess this is related to postgis commit 75a044c61:
