    Fix pg_upgrade to cope with non-default unix_socket_directory scenarios. · f763b771

    When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix
    socket in the current directory.  This makes it even harder for accidental
    connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some
    scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable.  (For example,
    if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist
    during "make check".)
    
    When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket
    directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible.  This dodges problems
    with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the
    default built into pg_upgrade's libpq.  We can't find that out if the old
    postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios
    manually.
    
    In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command
    line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump.
    This should make future changes easier.
