OK, new idea. I said above I didn't know how to copy just the non-user
table files (which are not modified by pg_upgrade), but actually, if you
use link mode, the user files are the only files with a hard link count
of 2. I could create a script that copied from the master to the slave
only those files with a link count of one.
