I would prefer a small note about it in src/bin/pg_upgrade/TESTING to document
it outside of the code, but otherwise LGTM.

+        $mode,
         '--check'
     ],

...

-        '-p',         $oldnode->port,     '-P', $newnode->port
+        '-p',         $oldnode->port,     '-P', $newnode->port,
+        $mode,
     ],

Minor nitpick, but while in there should we take the opportunity to add a
trailing comma on the other two array declarations which now ends with --check?
It's good Perl practice and will make the code consistent.
