Hmm, if I read this code right, this error is going to be thrown by the
checkpointer while finishing a checkpoint. Fortunately, the checkpoint
record has already been written, but I don't know what would happen if
this is thrown while trying to write the shutdown checkpoint. Probably
nothing terribly good.
I don't think this is useful. If the setting is invalid during binary
upgrade, let's prevent it from being set at all right from the start of
the upgrade process. In InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot() we could have
just an Assert() or elog(PANIC).
