While this looks simple, we might end up with a lot of diff and
changes after removing MESSAGE_WIDTH. There's a significant part of
pg_upgrade code that deals with MESSAGE_WIDTH. I don't think it's
worth the effort. Therefore, I'd prefer the simplest possible fix -
change the message to '"Checking for  \"aclitem\" data type in user
tables". It may be an overkill, but we can consider adding
Assert(sizeof(message) < MESSAGE_WIDTH) in progress report functions
to not encourage new messages to end up in the same formatting issue.
