Generally good to me. Only some nits below, otherwise,

The doc of error_report() said it doesn't want multiple sentences or trailing
punctuation:

"The resulting message should be a single phrase, with no newline or trailing
punctuation."

So I think these extra messages (with complex formatting & content) are
better printed with error_printf() as I suggested in [1].

Same here. A trailing punctuation. If possible, feel free to refer to
the comment in [1].

"upgrade_note" string also has the trailing punctuation, and it's
also better to use error_printf() to replace the 2nd error_report().

For this patch, error_report() is already a big step forward, so I think
these few nits doesn't block this patch.

Thank you for your patience.
