pg_upgrade: Retrieve subscription count more efficiently.

Presently, pg_upgrade obtains the number of subscriptions in the
to-be-upgraded cluster by first querying pg_subscription in every
database for the number of subscriptions in only that database.
Then, in count_old_cluster_subscriptions(), it adds all the values
collected in the first step. This is expensive, especially when
there are many databases.

Fortunately, there is a better way to retrieve the subscription
count. Since pg_subscription is a shared catalog, we only need to
connect to a single database and query it once. This commit
modifies pg_upgrade to use that approach, which also allows us to
trim several lines of code. In passing, move the call to
get_db_subscription_count(), which has been renamed to
get_subscription_count(), from get_db_rel_and_slot_infos() to the
dedicated >= v17 section in check_and_dump_old_cluster().

We may be able to make similar improvements to
get_old_cluster_logical_slot_infos(), but that is left as a future
exercise.
