It can be possible to update the new operator class in the new cluster
as not default, before restore. After the restore, pg_upgrade can upgrade
the btree_gist extension and reset the operator class as the default.
pg_upgrade suggests to re-initdb the new cluster if it fails, anyway. Do
you think it is a better solution? I think it will be more complicated
to do in pg_dump when in binary upgrade mode.
