So the buildfarm exercises pg_upgrade, to some extent, by way of a
custom module,
https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/blob/master/PGBuild/Modules/TestUpgrade.pm
As far as I can tell, test_decoding wants to do the same thing (i.e. get
make check to run). Is the best option to write a new TestLogical.pm
module for the buildfarm, or should we somehow think about how to
generalize the pg_upgrade trick so that animal caretakers can enable
runs of test_decoding by simply upgrading to a newer version of the
buildfarm script?
