Right, check_proper_datallowconn and check_for_isn_and_int8_passing_mismatch
and a few other check functions already place error reporting in the subdir.

Agreed. The documentation states:
"pg_upgrade creates various working files, such as schema dumps, stored
within pg_upgrade_output.d in the directory of the new cluster. Each
run creates a new subdirectory named with a timestamp formatted as per
ISO 8601 (%Y%m%dT%H%M%S), where all the generated files are stored."
The delete_old_cluster and reindex_hash scripts are still placed in CWD, which
isn't changed by this patch, as that seems correct (and might break scripts if
we move them). Maybe we should amend the docs to mention that scripts aren't
generated in the subdir?
