By the way, while looking at the buildfarm failures, I have noticed
that something is wrong in my patch.  Looking Makefile.global.in,
USE_MODULE_DB is built based on REGRESS for the tests of
src/test/modules/gin/.  However things are inconsistent between meson
and ./configure.

For example, this host uses configure/make:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skimmer&dt=2025-12-08%2006%3A08%3A23

The database name is contrib_regression_gin_incomplete_splits, which
points to the test gin_incomplete_split in src/test/modules/gin/,
meaning that my patch would not work.

In the meson case, we got this failure:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2025-12-08%2006%3A27%3A04
And here, the database name is regression_gin.

When I looked at the buildfarm failures, I saw the regression_gin
first, wrote a patch based on that.  But the second one based on
contrib_regression_gin_incomplete_splits was really puzzling me, until
I've noticed that the difference was configure vs meson for the two
hosts.  So it seems to me that we have a second issue here, where
meson relies on a "name" while configure uses the first value of
"REGRESS".  AdjustUpgrade.pm cannot know that it's dealing with one
build method or the other.  In order to make my previous patch work, 
we could use a DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS on both database names.  That
would work, but that feels grotty for the purpose of fixing things,
especially as I don't see a point in keeping the test libraries across
major upgrades..
