Improve error message for checksum state in pg_upgrade

When attempting to upgrade a cluster which is an inprogress state, the
same error message was used regardless of which state it was.  Fix by
using different error messages for the different inprogress states.

Found by Noah using AI assisted review with Claude.  Backpatch to v19
where the online checksums feature was introduced.
