I got a complaint that pg_upgrade --check fails to raise red flags when
the source database contains type abstime when upgrading from pg11. The
type (along with reltime and tinterval) was removed by pg12.
In passing, while testing this, I noticed that the translation
infrastructure in pg_upgrade/util.c is broken: we do have the messages
in the translation catalog, but the translations for the messages from
prep_status are never displayed. So I made the quick hack of adding _()
around the fmt, and this was the result:

Note how nicely they line up ... not. There is some code that claims to
do this correctly, but apparently it counts bytes, not characters, and
also it appears to be measuring the original rather than the
translation.
I think we're trimming the strings in the wrong places. We need to
apply _() to the originals, not the trimmed ones. Anyway, clearly
nobody has looked at this very much.

Subject: [PATCH] pg_upgrade: check for types removed in pg12
Commit cda6a8d01d39 removed a few datatypes, but didn't update
pg_upgrade --check to throw error if these types are used. So the users
find that pg_upgrade --check tells them that everything is fine, only to
fail when the real upgrade is attempted.
