On closer inspection, the only thing that pg_upgrade needs is to be
able to do ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY without a relfilenode bump.  PFA
two versions of a patch that fixes this problem, at least to the
extent that it gets through check-world without triggering the Assert
I added to GetNewRelFileNode (which HEAD doesn't).  The first one
is a minimally-invasive hack; the second one puts the responsibility
for deciding if a sequence rewrite is needed into init_params.  That's
bulkier but might be useful if we ever grow additional ALTER SEQUENCE
options that don't need a rewrite.  OTOH, I'm not very clear on what
such options might look like, so maybe the extra flexibility is useless.
Thoughts?
