Windows animals still produce mysterious pg_upgrade/004_subscription
failures: [1] and [2] (and 006_transfer_modes also failed similarly since
then: [3] and [4]). Unluckily, pg_upgrade_output.d/ content is still not
shown in the failure logs, so we can only guess why the tests failed. I
could not reproduce something alike locally, unfortunately — tried
different approaches for several days, but without success, so if we could
see the error/failure reason in the log it would be useful, I hope.

Regarding 006_transfer_modes, I thought the reason we have no
pg_upgrade_output.d/ is that the test removes it explicitly: [5], but I
see no clean_node in 004_subscription, so maybe the log collection is yet
to be fixed in the buildfarm client.

Could you have a look, please?
