I have formally withdrawn this patch. I still think it's a good idea,
and I'm not abandoning the idea. The patch has just been superseded by
another patch of mine:

https://postgr.es/m/CAH2-Wz=hj-RCr6fOj_L3_0J1Ws8fOoxTQLmtM57gPc19beZz=Q@mail.gmail.com

This other patch has a much broader goal: it decouples
"antiwraparound-ness vs regular-ness" from the criteria that triggered
autovacuum (which includes a "table age" trigger criteria). Since the
other patch has to invent the whole concept of an autovacuum trigger
criteria (which it reports on via a line in autovacuum server log
reports), it seemed best to do everything together.

Thanks
