To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to  
modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties,  
and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output.  
Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had  
separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very  
ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how  
many lines of unchecked diff were okay!).  This patch creates a Perl  
module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic  
that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined  
fashion.  
  
This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits 0df9641d3,  
9814ff550, and 62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution  
for the task of dropping old objects.  There was nothing fundamentally  
wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the  
output-formatting problem.  The most plausible way to deal with  
formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the  
dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the  
same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for  
dropping old objects.  
  
Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to  
support buildfarm animals that still test that far back.  
It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm,  
because the new code depends on that.  I fixed up pg_upgrade's  
002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching  
it further than that.
