Looking at the upgrade question in [0] made me realize that we discard
potentially useful information for troubleshooting. When we check if the
cluster is properly shut down we might as well include the status from
pg_controldata in the errormessage as per the trivial (but yet untested)
proposed diff.
Is there a reason not to be verbose here as users might copy/paste this output
when asking for help?
