It doesn't make sense to have a checksum feature that protects
relation files, but doesn't protect these super important meta-data
files that affect our interpretation of the relation files.

I think we'd want pg_upgrade tests showing an example of each SLRU
growing past one segment, and then being upgraded, and then being
accessed in various different pages and segment files, so that we can
see that we're able to shift the data to the right place successfully.
For example I think I'd want to see that a single aborted transaction
surrounded by many committed transactions shows up in the right place
after an upgrade.
