From pg_upgrade perspective, it is something what we will need do anyway.
Because TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE will be different in 8.5 (if you commit CRC). Then
we will need the patch for 8.5. It is not necessary for 8.3->8.4 upgrade because
TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE is same. And make this change into toast table now will
add unnecessary complexity.
