Few comments:
=============
1. One thing to note is that if user checks whether the old cluster is
upgradable with --check option and then try to upgrade, that will also
fail. Because during the --check run there would at least one
additional shutdown checkpoint WAL and then in the next run the slots
position won't match. Note, I am saying this in context of using
--check option with not-running old cluster. Won't that be surprising
to users? One possibility is that we document such a behaviour and
other is that we go back to WAL reading design where we can ignore
known WAL records like shutdown checkpoint, XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS, etc.
2.

Here, we should ignore invalid slots.

+ slot->slotname);
Is it possible to print the LSN locations of slot and last checkpoint?
I think that will aid in debugging the problems if any and could be
helpful to users as well.
