Fix 002_pg_upgrade.pl.

Commit f696c0cd5f caused a test failure in 002_pg_upgrade.pl, because
an earlier s/// operator caused qr// to no longer match the empty
string. Use qr/^$/ instead, which is a better test anyway, because we
expect the stderr to be empty.

Initially this appeared to be a perl bug, but per discussion, it seems
that it was a misunderstanding of how perl works: an empty pattern
uses the last successful pattern. Given how surprising that behavior
is to perl non-experts, we will need to look for similar problems
elsewhere and eliminate the use of empty patterns throughout the
code. For now, address this one instance to fix the buildfarm.
