Add a --socketdir option to pg_upgrade.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Add a --socketdir option to pg_upgrade. This allows control of the directory in which the postmaster sockets are created for the temporary postmasters started by pg_upgrade. The default location remains the current working directory, which is typically fine, but if it is deeply nested then its pathname might be too long to be a socket name. In passing, clean up some messiness in pg_upgrade's option handling, particularly the confusing and undocumented way that configuration-only datadirs were handled. And fix check_required_directory's substantially under-baked cleanup of directory pathnames.
