Not lately, apparently :-(

I think it'd be a lot safer to modify (or just remove) the test in
pg_upgrade.  It looks like a one-liner:

    prep_status("Checking for prepared transactions");

    res = executeQueryOrDie(conn,
                            "SELECT * "
                            "FROM pg_catalog.pg_prepared_xact()");

    if (PQntuples(res) != 0)
        pg_log(PG_FATAL, "The %s cluster contains prepared transactions\n",
               CLUSTER_NAME(cluster));

There's no reason at all for this code to not use the published API,
which is the pg_prepared_xacts system view.
