Hmm... buildfarm member crake reported a pg_upgradeCheck failure, and it seems
the test I added last time is causing it :(

The test assumed that blks_read and blks_hit in pg_statio_all_sequences would
be zero immediately after calling pg_stat_reset_single_table_counters().
However, on crake, either of them became 1 even right after the reset.
This might happen if another process (e.g., autovacuum) accesses
the sequence in the short window between the reset and the query of
pg_statio_all_sequences??? More investigation would be necessary.

Since checking the blks_read and blks_hit counters in pg_statio_all_sequences
can make the test unstable, I'm thinking of removing that part of the test.
