pg_upgrade code contains a number of lines like

This is presumably to ensure that the function signature is fitting for
being used with upgrade_task_add_step(). But the signature of
upgrade_task_add_step() already checks that itself, so these additional
assertions are redundant, and I find them confusing. So I propose to remove
them.
I think this was borrowed from logical decoding output plugins, but
apparently I wrote the patch to remove these assertions from those, too
(commit 30b789eafe). So, I'm not sure what I was thinking... If they are
indeed redundant, I have no objection to their removal.
Ah, that is interesting context. Anyway, change committed.
