I agree.  After all, we do already have a ready-made solution in the form
of a vacuum, do we?
If I understand all this multixact_old.c machinery correctly, in case of
oldestOffsetKnown==false
we should fail with "could not open file" or offset will be 0 in
GetOldMultiXactIdSingleMember.
So, I suppose we can put an analogue of SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist call
in the beginning
of GetOldMultiXactIdSingleMember. And if either
SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist return false
or a corresponding offset will be 0 we have to bail out with "oldest offset
does not exist, consider
running vacuum before pg_upgrdade" or smth. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
