Fix pg_upgrade failure from servers older than 9.3
When upgrading from servers of versions 9.2 and older, and MultiXactIds have been used in the old server beyond the first page (that is, 2048 multis or more in the default 8kB-page build), pg_upgrade would set the next multixact offset to use beyond what has been allocated in the new cluster. This would cause a failure the first time the new cluster needs to use this value, because the pg_multixact/offsets/ file wouldn't exist or wouldn't be large enough. To fix, ensure that the transient server instances launched by pg_upgrade extend the file as necessary.
