Tom Lane f763b77193 Fix pg_upgrade to cope with non-default unix_socket_directory scenarios.
When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix
socket in the current directory.  This makes it even harder for accidental
connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some
scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable.  (For example,
if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist
during "make check".)

When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket
directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible.  This dodges problems
with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the
default built into pg_upgrade's libpq.  We can't find that out if the old
postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios
manually.

In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command
line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump.
This should make future changes easier.

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:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
