Looks good.

Yes. (I'm not aware of value we get from having distinct control file version
and catalog version, but we do have both.)

I'd do 1800. The pattern seems to be to bump to 1800 for the first pg_control
change of the v18 cycle, then 1801, then 1802 for the third change of the
cycle. That's based on this history:

git log -U0 -p src/include/catalog/pg_control.h | grep -E '^(Date|\+#define PG_CONTROL_VERSION)'
