Tom Lane 5bab1985df Fix bit-rot in pg_upgrade's test.sh, and improve documentation.
Doing a cross-version upgrade test with test.sh evidently hasn't been
tested since circa 9.2, because the script lacked case branches for
old-version servers newer than 9.1.  Future-proof that a bit, and
clean up breakage induced by our recent drop of V0 function call
protocol (namely that oldstyle_length() isn't in the regression
suite anymore).

(This isn't enough to make the test work perfectly cleanly across
versions, but at least it finishes and provides dump files that
you can diff manually.  One issue I didn't touch is that we might
want to execute the "reindex_hash.sql" file in the new DB before
dumping it, so that the hash indexes don't vanish from the dump.)

Improve the TESTING doc file: put the tl;dr version at the top not
the bottom, and bring its explanation of how to run a cross-version
test up to speed, since the installcheck target isn't there and won't
be resurrected.  Improve the comment in the Makefile about why not.

In passing, teach .gitignore and "make clean" about a couple more
junk output files.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
