 I was trying to upgrade demo.postgis.net to latest PG16 and it's failing
 because of this


 {{{
 pg_restore: from TOC entry 943; 1255 17106 FUNCTION
 st_coverageinvalidlocations("public"."geometry", double precision) robe
 pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR:  could not find
 function "ST_CoverageInvalidLocations" in file
 "/usr/lib/postgresql/16/lib/postgis-3.so"
 Command was: CREATE FUNCTION "public"."st_coverageinvalidlocations"("geom"
 "public"."geometry", "tolerance" double precision DEFAULT 0.0) RETURNS
 "public"."geometry"
     LANGUAGE "c" WINDOW IMMUTABLE STRICT COST 5000 PARALLEL SAFE
     AS '$libdir/postgis-3', 'ST_CoverageInvalidLocations';

 -- For binary upgrade, handle extension membership the hard way
 ALTER EXTENSION "postgis" ADD FUNCTION
 "public"."st_coverageinvalidlocations"("geom" "public"."geometry",
 "tolerance" double precision);

 }}}

 Sadly our upgrade scripts don't catch this or drop it, so I have a broken
 install I can't upgrade.

 I think we need to add this tou our drop list, cause we changed this
 function midway in 3.4.0.  Sure only reckless people like me would be
 impacted by this, but someone has to look out for us.


 The other annoying thing about this is I had to resort to using:


 {{{
 /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/pg_upgrade -b
 /var/tmp/postgresql-16-202305211/bin -B /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin -p 5432
 -P 5433 -d /etc/postgresql/16/main.old -D /etc/postgresql/16/main

 }}}

 instead of my preferred short-hand of:


 {{{
 pg_upgradecluster 16 main.old --rename main -m upgrade -v 16 --old-
 bindir=/var/tmp/postgresql-16-202305211/bin
 }}}


 Sadly for some reason pg_upgradecluster in this situation wipes out all
 the files it asks me to check for guidance.
