[Bug]: pg_upgrade cannot upgrade 2.12.2-pg13 to 2.14.2-pg15

@jflambert while doing major upgrades, we typically recommend to upgrade to the required timescaledb version on existing curren tPG version and then do the subsequent PG version upgrade. It seems to be working fine following those recommendations.

Yes I can confirm using same timescaledb versions is successful. No problem. I did mention it in the bug report.

But in this case I am highlighting a regression. I'll try to dig up some older logs where mixed timescaledb versions were not problematic. Note that I'm using the timescaledb-ha image so all historical versions are in the lib folder.

#4503 seems to be related.

You're right @jnidzwetzki I might possibly have created a duplicate here. However my error message is slightly different.

What's more I actually posted in that issue that using timescaledb-ha solved my issue at the time. So in fact this might still be a regression. I know you guys made big GUC changes recently.

When doing major pg version upgrade source and destination version are required to be identical
