That web page mentions pg_upgrade, which allows in-place major upgrades
to happen in several minutes:

        Whichever backup you go with, it will be be restored to a new PostgreSQL
        deployment where we may, or may not, run the pg_upgrade tool. 

The only _zero-downtime_ upgrade option is with logical-based
replication like Slony.
