Attached is a completed patch which handles oid conflicts in pg_class
and pg_type for TOAST tables that were not needed in the old cluster but
are needed in the new one.  I was able to recreate a failure case and
this fixed it.

The patch need to be backpatched because I am getting more-frequent bug
reports from users using pg_upgrade to leave now-end-of-life'ed 8.4. 
There is not a good work-around for pg_upgrade failures without this
fix, but at least pg_upgrade throws an error.
