I didn't want to jump in earlier as I'm not a pg_upgrade expert, and
to be honest, haven't done any code reading around this tool, but I
was puzzled with Michael's comment on pg_upgrade failing on a standby
node. I have always been under the impression that pg_upgrade had to
be executed on a primary server, and standbys had to be recloned or
rsynced (which is just the old way of recloning).

Maybe there's something I wasn't aware of. But if that's the case,
then the docs don't reflect this missing knowledge and we should amend
it.
