Improve the check for pg_catalog.unknown data type in pg_upgrade
The pg_upgrade check for pg_catalog.unknown type when upgrading from 9.6 had a couple of issues with domains and composite types - it detected even composite types unused in objects with storage. So for example this was enough to trigger an unnecessary pg_upgrade failure: CREATE TYPE unknown_composite AS (u pg_catalog.unknown) On the other hand, this only happened with composite types directly on the pg_catalog.unknown data type, but not with a domain. So this was not detected CREATE DOMAIN unknown_domain AS pg_catalog.unknown; CREATE TYPE unknown_composite_2 AS (u unknown_domain); unlike the first example. These false positives and inconsistencies are unfortunate, but what's worse we've failed to detected objects using the pg_catalog.unknown type through a domain. So we missed cases like this CREATE TABLE t (u unknown_composite_2); The consequence is clusters broken after a pg_upgrade. This fixes these false positives and false negatives by using the same recursive CTE introduced by eaf900e842 for sql_identifier. Backpatch all the way to 10, where the of pg_catalog.unknown data type was restricted. Author: Tomas Vondra Backpatch-to: 10- Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16045-673e8fa6b5ace196%40postgresql.org
