FAQ: upgrade recommendation

Doesn't really matter. There are few improvements in the 7.3 version,
but nothing dramatic.

Would you use pg_dumpall v7.2 or v7.3 to dump a v7.2 database before loading
it into a v7.3 server?

Does it matter?
(Guess not, just see slight changes like constraints on primary keys being
part of table creation for 7.2, but added at the end for 7.3 - probably for
speed of COPYing)

There have been some minor issues that have been cleared up by using the
7.3 pg_dump instead of the 7.2 pg_dump. I don't remember what they all
are, but the archive should list them somewhere.
