Commit 44fe30fdab6 introduced the 'default_char_signedness' field in controlfile. Newly created database clusters always set this field to 'signed'. This change ensures that pg_upgrade updates the 'default_char_signedness' to 'unsigned' if the source database cluster has signedness=false. For source clusters from v17 or earlier, which lack the 'default_char_signedness' information, pg_upgrade assumes the source cluster was initialized on the same platform where pg_upgrade is running. It then sets the 'default_char_signedness' value according to the current platform's default character signedness.
