I propose to have the pg_upgrade test honour TEMP_CONFIG as pg_regress
(or its Makefile) does, by applying the patch below. There might be
opther places this should also be done, but this would be a start. The
motivation is to see if it stops the errors we often see on the somewhat
slow axolotl buildfarm member when checking pg_upgrade - axolotl's
TEMP_CONFIG sets up the stats temp directory on a ramdisk, as well as
turning off fsync.
This would be backpatched to 9.2.
