    Add a --socketdir option to pg_upgrade. · 2d34ad84

    This allows control of the directory in which the postmaster sockets
    are created for the temporary postmasters started by pg_upgrade.
    The default location remains the current working directory, which is
    typically fine, but if it is deeply nested then its pathname might
    be too long to be a socket name.
    
    In passing, clean up some messiness in pg_upgrade's option handling,
    particularly the confusing and undocumented way that configuration-only
    datadirs were handled.  And fix check_required_directory's substantially
    under-baked cleanup of directory pathnames.
