Here are rebased patches.
Regarding your question: The initial patch had a separate option for
this behavior, which was then used by pg_upgrade. It was commented that
this option is not useful outside of pg_upgrade, so it doesn't need to
be exposed as a user-facing option. I agreed with that and removed the
option. We can always add the option back easily if someone really
wants it, but so far no use case has been presented. So I suggest we
proceed with this proposal ignoring whether this option is exposed or not.
