Disallow CR and LF in database, role, and tablespace names

Previously, these characters could cause problems when passed through
shell commands, and were flagged with a comment in string_utils.c
suggesting they be rejected in a future major release.

The affected commands are CREATE DATABASE, CREATE ROLE, CREATE TABLESPACE,
ALTER DATABASE RENAME, ALTER ROLE RENAME, and ALTER TABLESPACE RENAME.

Also add a pg_upgrade check to detect these invalid names in clusters
being upgraded from pre-v19 versions, producing a report file listing
any offending objects that must be renamed before upgrading.

Tests have been modified accordingly.
