pg_upgrade: Retrieve subscription count more efficiently. Presently, pg_upgrade obtains the number of subscriptions in the to-be-upgraded cluster by first querying pg_subscription in every database for the number of subscriptions in only that database. Then, in count_old_cluster_subscriptions(), it adds all the values collected in the first step. This is expensive, especially when there are many databases.
Fortunately, there is a better way to retrieve the subscription count. Since pg_subscription is a shared catalog, we only need to connect to a single database and query it once. This commit modifies pg_upgrade to use that approach, which also allows us to trim several lines of code. In passing, move the call to get_db_subscription_count(), which has been renamed to get_subscription_count(), from get_db_rel_and_slot_infos() to the dedicated >= v17 section in check_and_dump_old_cluster(). We may be able to make similar improvements to get_old_cluster_logical_slot_infos(), but that is left as a future exercise.
