fwiw, i used to do pg_upgradecluster as the postgres user on sysvinit
machines, and it all worked fine.  But of course the postgres user can't
do that systemctl operations that a systemd machine needs, so
pg_upgradecluster needed to be invoked by root.  It would be great to
document this change, in case other people run into the same
difficulties.
