Indeed. It makes no sense to keep that. I have removed this part and
applied the patch, after one extra run through the CI.

Yeah, there is an extra issue with the buildfarm client here. The
animals that have TAP enabled are now running the tests of pg_upgrade
twice: once per the optional module TestUpgrade and once in
run_bin_tests()@run_build.pl. This is something that needs to be
changed in the client code itself, and maybe the best fix is to
disable TestUpgrade.pm when running with v15~ or a newer version. A
fix with this approach would become much easier once REL_15_STABLE is
created, though. I am pretty sure that it should also be possible to
change the list of optional modules depending on the branch running,
but I have not dug into that..
