OK, the attached patch adds -o/-O options to pg_upgrade to mimick pg_ctl
-o, and documents the 'Gentoo method' for allowing pg_upgrade to handle
pre-9.2 upgrades for config-only installs. I think this closes the
issue, with no backpatching required for it to work for new PG 9.2.
Users will have to continue using the symlink method for new PG 9.1.
